PALOS VERDES, Calif. – The University of Florida women's golf team competed in the second round of the Northrop Grumman Regional Challenge on Monday and finished the day in first place after posting a team score of three-under (565) through the first two rounds.
The Gators started the day in fourth place, and recorded a nine-under (275) in the second round to move up the leaderboard. Florida's 275 team score broke the lowest team score in program history, previously set at the 2016 NCAA Regional.

Taylor Tomlinson recorded three birdies on the front nine to finish the day at two-under (69). The junior is tied for sixth place at two-under (140).
Kelly Grassel, who is competing as an individual, took the individual lead on Monday. She posted a three-under (68) in the second round to move up two spots on the leaderboard, with a one-shot lead. Karolina Vlckova jumped up the leaderboard on Monday into a tie for eighth place, carding four birdies and finishing the day at two-under (69).
Head Coach Emily Glaser:
Thoughts on the Gators' second round:
"I'm really happy with the effort today, and we shot a great team score. To be honest, I know we have a few players who are unhappy with their finish, but it's a good lesson about staying present and focused until the end. I know we will learn from it. Tomorrow will be a battle and we are all looking forward to the opportunity."
