What a thrilling start for our Lady golfers. I so hoped ACU would have a woman's golf team someday, and now we do. What I could have only dreamed is that we would be so strong in our first year.

With only a couple of holes left in round 1 our lead is now at 7 shots even though we are now only -2 as a team. Williams is -2, Han is -1, Honea is Even and Martin still +1. Pickrell picked up a birdie and is +2. Guile is +1 and Millwee has a 77 posted but that is not correct. The scorecard shows +13.

We are not finishing well. We're still in 1st place but only by 3 shots and have one hole to play. Williams is still -1, Honea finished at -1, Han finished at Even, but Martin finished at +3. Pickrell finished even worse at +6..Looks like we'll have a small lead going into round 2. Not sure what to expect in the 2nd 18.

We have dropped into 2nd place behind Oakland University. They are led by 2 sisters, one of whom is -8. Both Sydney and Ryann started with birdies but both have fallen back.

A real battle for 1st place with Oakland. Currently tied for 1st place about half way thru 2nd round at +2. Jiyu Han and Kate Pickrell are leading the Cats this round at -2 each.

What a day for our ladies!!! Han shoots 67, Pickrell shoots 69, Williams birdies her last 3 holes to shoot 72, Honea shoots a steady 74 and we finish -5 as a team and 13 shots in front of Oakland. Our #1 Delaney Martin has an off day and shoots 75-79. Our individuals--Manon shoots 74 and is +2 with one hole to go. Mattie Millwee showed some rust with 88-81. It looks like we have 6 ladies who will be in the mix for each tourney. What a fantastic start for our program. Congrats all the way around. And we added an assistant coach in Ali Green, former HC at the University of Dayton.

By the way with her 72-67 Jiyu Han is tied for 1st place in the individual race. What a start it would be to bring home the 1st place trophy for both the team and individual.

This is just incredible. I’ll be watching tomorrow. Surely they can hold on to a 13 stroke lead. If Martin plays like she can, no telling what they can accomplish.
Proud of Millwee for responding in the afternoon and improving by 7 strokes. That shows some moxie.
