Monday, February 19, 2018 | Women's Golf
Sophomore Sierra Brooks (-6) atop the individual leaderboard
NEW ORLEANS, La. -- After opening the round with a bogey one the par-5 second, Sierra Brooks was 4-under par the rest of her second round.
Brooks circled the scorecard four times to for a 69, the lowest score in the field in round two. Her 3-under day elevated her to the top of the leaderboard entering the final round of the Allstate Sugar Bowl.
With the help of her score, the Gators remain atop the leaderboard after 36 holes. Florida who are 8-over retained their one shot lead over the field. Joining the Gators in the final pairings Tuesday will be Southern California who is one back and Michigan State who is four back.
Joining Brooks in the top five of the leaderboard is Elin Esborn who shot even par and is 1-under for the tournament. Esborn sits alone in fourth place and five off of Brook's lead.
Taylor Tomlinson is four shots behind Esborn and tied for 12th while Marta Perez is 4-over and tied for 16th.
Overall, Florida tops the field in both par-4 (+15) and par-5 (-4) scoring through two rounds of play at English Turn Golf & Country Club.
Coach's Take:
On today's round -- "Not our best stuff today but we hung in there and have a chance tomorrow. The wind really blew today and I think we tried to force it a little to much instead of recognizing when pars would have made a big difference. It's an important lesson for us to learn and to be prepared for the next time." - Coach Emily Glaser
On Sierra Brook's round -- "Sierra played a great round of golf today. She was super patient and really trusted her shot shape and used it to her advantage in the wind. I'm excited for the opportunity she has tomorrow." -- Coach Emily Glaser
