Crimson Tide post school-best 18-hole score Saturday to take 10-shot lead
NORMAN, Okla. – Junior Jiwon Jeon and sophomore Angelica Moresco turned in career-low rounds on Saturday as four Alabama golfers shot in the 60s to give the Crimson Tide a 10-shot lead after two rounds at the Schooner Fall Classic.
Alabama (272-262/534) finished the day at 22-under par and is now 34-under par through 36 holes, 10 shots ahead of second-place Texas (272-272/544) at the par-71, 6,048-yard Belmar Golf Club in Norman, Okla. The second round score and 36-hole total and score vs. par are all school records.
Host Oklahoma (289-267/556) turned in a 17-under par day to move into third place at -12. Baylor (278-280/558) is fourth at -10 while Texas A&M (286-276/562) is fifth at -6.
Jeon (66-64/130) continued the hot start to her Alabama career, firing a career-best 6-under par 64 to break teammate Kenzie Wright's week-old school record 36-hole score by four shots and leads the tournament at -12.
The score was the Daegu, South Korea, native's fourth consecutive round in the 60s over her first two tournaments and gives her a one-shot lead in the individual standings over teammate Lauren Stephenson (66-65/131).
Stephenson also bettered the previous UA 36-hole score with her second sub-70 round of the weekend and sits at -11 heading into Sunday's final round.
Moresco (71-65/135) turned in a career-low round on Saturday as well, breaking 70 for the first time with the Tide to move into a tie for seventh place at -6.
Junior Kristen Gillman (69-68/137) turned in another solid round, finishing the day at 3-under par to tie for 11th at -5. Junior Kenzie Wright (72-72/144) is at +2 and tied for 35th.
The Tide turned in another dominant performance on the back nine on Saturday, shooting 14-under par after the turn with 13 birdies and an eagle on 18 by Stephenson against just one bogey.
Alabama will begin Sunday's final round at 10:10 a.m. CT and will be paired with Texas and Oklahoma.
