ROGERS, Ark. – In steady blowing winds of up to 25 mph and through rounds that lasted over six hours, the University of Alabama women’s golf team carded a 321 in the second round of the Lady Razorback Invitational at the par 72, 6,015-yard Pinnacle Country Club on Monday.
Sophomore Amy Middleton fired the Tide’s low round of the day finishing with a 74. Middleton is tied for 26th with a two-day score of 156. Senior Megan George’s 79 was the only other score in the 70s for Alabama on day two of the event. George is now tied for 39th at 159.
“The winds were a real challenge for us today,” said UA head coach Betty Palmer. “We had a tough time mentally playing in the wind. We need to regroup and get ready for tomorrow’s final round. Hopefully, we can put some things together for a strong finish.”
