HIGHLAND PARK, Ill. - Oklahoma State's women's golf team finished the first day of action at the Windy City Collegiate Championship on Monday in second place with a 5-under-par 563 total and just one shot out of first at Northmoor Country Club.
The Cowgirls grabbed the first-round lead after opening with a 281 at the par-71, 6,108-yard layout. Southern California used a 278 during its second round to move into the top spot and one shot clear of OSU, which posted a 282 during its afternoon round.
USC's Kyung Kim signed for scores of 69 and 68 to stand at 137 and one shot clear of OSU sophomore Julie Yang.
Yang posted a pair of 69s to finish at 4-under 138 for the day and alone in second place. During her first round, she overcame a double bogey on her fifth hole with consecutive birdies on the next two holes before making the turn at even-par 36. Yang turned in a clean inward nine with seven pars and a pair of birdies for her 2-under score.
During her afternoon round, Yang parred her first eight holes before a birdie at the ninth gave her a 1-under 35 total. Birdies on three of the first four holes countered a pair of bogeys for an inward nine of 1-under 34.
Senior Lauren Falley came in a stroke behind Yang after carding rounds of 70 and 69 to finish at 139 and tied for third place.
