WILLIAMSBURG, VA -- Williams Women's Golf team currently sits in 7th after round one and 13 holes of the second round at the NCAA Championship at the Kingsmill Resort. Stormy weather conditions led to a delayed start for round one which left the Ephs teeing off starting at 3 PM. Play was then suspended at 7:30pm for darkness and resumed at 8:30 AM Wednesday morning. The Ephs shot 302 (+14) to sit in tied for third heading into the second round.
The team was led by recent NESCAC medalist, junior Euna Lee, who shot 71 (-1), highlighted by four birdies. First year Michelle Ding followed closely behind with a 74 (+2). Ding finished her last three holes in two under, making her NCAA debut memorable. Senior Captain Gio Kim also had a strong performance shooting 76 (+4), highlighted by four birdies. Sophomore Emma Abramson carded two birdies and an eagle to shoot 81 (+9). Rounding out the lineup was Sophomore Natalie Cheong who shot 82 (+10).
The Ephs began the second round on Wednesday at 11:15 AM and played until play was suspended again for thunderstorms. The second round will resume at 8:00 AM Thursday morning and once the field is finished, the top 15 teams out of the 34 will move on to the third round. The third round is scheduled for a 12:30 PM shotgun start.
Lee comments, "Despite the weather conditions and tiring past two days, I am really happy with our team's energy and support for one another. I know we can go low on these courses, and I am looking forward to the exciting, upcoming days ahead of us!"
Eph head coach Tomas Adalsteinsson comments, "We had a solid first round and a strong finish this morning. It's been a challenging championship with the stop-and-go nature of play, and unfortunately, we weren't able to complete the second round today. We're looking forward to finishing strong tomorrow morning and turning our focus to the third round."
