Pair Of Cowgirl Freshmen Tied For Fourth After 18 Holes At Big 12s
April 14, 2019 | Cowgirl Golf
• Round 1 Leaderboards
BROKEN ARROW, Oklahoma – Lianna Bailey used a late rally and birdied three of her last four holes. Han-Hsuan Yu was steady all day. But at the end of 18 holes, the two Cowgirl freshmen were tied for fourth place and Oklahoma State was in the thick of the team race at the 2019 Big 12 Women's Golf Championship.
"I felt as if it was a bit of a grind out there today," Bailey said. "During the first few holes my swing wasn't where I wanted it to be, but as the round gradually went on it all started to come together. I was able to turn a bad day into a solid day."
Bailey opened her day at the Golf Club of Oklahoma with a double-bogey and was 3-over after 14 holes, but that's when the Leicester, England native flipped the script. She birdied 15, 16 and 18 to finish the day at even par 72 and in a tie for fourth.
Moments later, Yu put the finish touches on her round that included a pair of birdies and 14 pars. The freshman also carded an even par 72 in her first Big 12 Championship round.
As a team, the Cowgirl are in fifth place at 12-over 300, but are just three strokes behind Kansas for third place. Texas is atop the leaderboard at 1-under 287, while Longhorn freshman Sara Kouskova leads all players at 5-under 67.
Cowgirl Michelle Forsland had an even par back nine to finish her day tied for 28th at 5-over 77. Emma Whitaker birdied three straight holes to wrap up her front nine, but ended her day at 8-over 80. Sara Camarena fired an 8-over 80 and is in 38th place.
The Cowgirls will begin Monday's second round at 9 a.m. at the Golf Club of Oklahoma.
