Sunday, February 19, 2017 | Women's Golf
NEW ORLEANS – Seniors Kelly Grassel and Maria Torres paced the Florida women's golf team in the first round of the Allstate Sugar Bowl Intercollegiate Championship on Sunday. Both Gators ended the day in a tie for ninth place at one-under (71).
As a team, Florida finished day in a tie for fourth place, posting a four-over (292). The Gators carded a tournament-high 15 birdies during the first round.
Miami's leading the tournament at one-under (287), and Denver's Mariell Bruun and UM's Dewi Weber are at the top of the leaderboard at four-under (68) on the par-72, 6.239-yard English Turn Golf & Country Club.
Due to inclement weather in the forecast for Tuesday, the Allstate Sugar Bowl Intercollegiate will have an adjusted schedule. The second round will begin on Monday morning with a shotgun start at 9 a.m. (ET) and there will be continuous play into the final round. Live scoring is available on GolfStat.com. A complete recap with full results will be posted on FloridaGators.com following the day's play.
Head Coach Emily Glaser:
On the Gators' first round…
"I thought that we were a little careless today at times. We didn't pay attention to some of the small details that it takes to play a great team round. But I also saw some great things today too. We had it rolling early and made a good amount of birdies."
On playing the final two rounds on Monday…
"Tomorrow, our goal is to clean it up a bit and play confidently. The team was really positive after the round and was excited to be in the hunt of the tournament, even though we didn't play our best today. It will be a grind with the format change but we will be ready."
