PRIMM, Nev. - Oklahoma State's women's golf team carded a 298 during its second round at the Golfweek Conference Challenge to dip into a tie for third place at Primm Valley Golf Club's Desert Course.
The Cowgirls will begin their final round at the par-72, 6,135-yard layout tied with Pepperdine at 17-over 593. Chattanooga is first at 590 and California is currently second at 592.
OSU's Caroline Hedwall maintained her spot atop the individual leaderboard with an even-par 72. The only player in the field under par, Hedwall will enter tomorrow's final round with a four-shot lead over Chattanooga's Christine Wolf and UC Irvine's Joy Trotter. The Cowgirl sophomore stands at 4-under 140.
On Monday, Hedwall birdied the par-4 third hole before consecutive bogeys at Nos. 5 and 6 to make the turn at 1-over 37. She then sandwiched eight pars around a birdie at the par-5 13th to get back to level par for the day. Through two rounds, the first-team All-American has taken advantage of the back nine, posting four birdies against no bogeys.
