NEW ORLEANS - The University of Alabama's seventh-ranked women's golf team battled high winds and difficult scoring conditions to shoot a 26-over-par 314 during the second round of the Tiger/Wave Golf Classic on the par-72, 6,132-yard English Turn Golf and Country Club layout on Saturday.
The Crimson Tide slipped back to fourth place after holding the first round lead. UA is 31-over-par 607 and six strokes back of tournament leaders Auburn and LSU (+25, 601). TCU is in third place at +27-over-par 603 with Virginia four strokes back of Alabama at 35-over -par 611.
"It was really windy today and we didn't handle it very well," Alabama head coach Mic Potter said. "It was a good experience and one that we will learn from. Now we just need to go out and put together a solid round on Sunday and try to win this tournament."
Junior Camilla Lennarth fired the Tide's low round on Saturday with a 3-over-par 75 to lead the team and sits in fifth place heading into Sunday's final round. Lennarth is 3-over 147 for the tournament after an even-par 72 in round one.
True freshman Jennifer Kirby carded a 78 and is tied for eighth place at 5-over-par 149. Brooke Pancake, who fired a 70 on Friday, shot an 80 in the second round and is tied for 10th at 6-over-par 150.
Helena Blomberg shot 80 in the second round and Rhea Nair carding an 83. Blomberg is tied for 74th and Nair is tied for 94th.
