Gillman five shots off the individual lead after three-under par round on Saturday
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – The Alabama women's golf team rebounded from Friday's slow start with a 3-under par round on Saturday at the 2017 Southeastern Conference Women's Golf Championship at the par-72 6,202-yard Legacy Course at Greystone Golf & Country Club in Birmingham, Ala. Alabama will enter Sunday's final round in seventh place at 4-over par (295-285/580) for the tournament.
The Florida Gators shot 8-under par on Saturday and hold the overall lead at 12-under par (284-280/564). Georgia (287-282/569) is second at 7-under par after a 6-under par second round. Arkansas (283-287/570) is third at 6-unde par. Texas A&M (282-290/572) is fourth at 4-under par. Georgia, Tennessee (287-286/573) is sixth at 3-under par and South Carolina (286-290/576) is sixth at even par.
"We were 10 shots better today so I'm pleased with that," head coach Mic Potter said. "But we could have finished the round better. Now we just have to go out and shoot a low round tomorrow and see what happens."
Freshman Kristen Gillman (72-69/141) again led the Tide on Saturday with a 3-under par 69 that moved her to ninth place in the individual standings. Sophomore Cheyenne Knight (75-70/145) was 2-under par on Saturday and is now tied for 23rd at 1-over par. Sophomore Lauren Stephenson (74-72/146) played an even-par round Saturday and is now tied for 28th. Senior Mia Landegren (75-74/149) finished with a 2-over par round to sit in a tie for 40th.
