Four players sit in the top 10 of the leaderboard.
NEW ORLEANS, La. -- The Gators started the Allstate Sugar Bowl clicking up and down the lineup.
Within the first six hole, Florida was 7-under par and had a five shot lead over the field.
In all, the Gator starting five had 10 birdies on the front nine. Taylor Tomlinson would add one of the two eagles on the course Sunday as Florida was 5-under at the turn.
With the help of a 2-under back nine from Marta Perez, Florida held at 5-under to have a one shot lead at the end of day one.
Perez (T5, -2) and Tomlinson (T9, -1) were two of four Gator golfers near the top of the leaderboard as they had four in the top 10.
Sierra Brooks (-3) was the top finisher tallying four birdies and a bogey to share third place with N.C. State's Cecily Overby.
Competing as an individual this week, Elin Esborn is also in the top 10 at 1-under and in a tie for ninth.
Coach's Take:
On -- "Solid start, I'm happy to see us get out of the gate well. We had a lot of opportunities today, the course was scoreable and we were able to to take advantage. Smart, patient golf paid off today and that will be the motto for tomorrow as well." -- Coach Emily Glaser
On what to expect tomorrow -- "There is some wind in the forecast so, we have to be ready to adapt. We had a good practice after the round and will try and carry some of those vibes with us tomorrow." -- Coach Glaser
