CORAL GABLES, Fla. – The Kennesaw State women's team opened the Hurricane Invitational with a 18-over par 302 in its first round on Monday (March 2) and sit in 14th place in the Miami-hosted tournament, held at the par-71, 6,070-yard Biltmore Golf Course.
Â
"We are very unhappy with the play today," said head coach
Rhyll Brinsmead. "While we cannot control what other teams shoot and our place in the field, we can control our actions and our play today was well below our standards and expectations. We lacked execution and made poor decisions. The positive is we have two more rounds to regroup and this team will look ahead and move on. Our focus tomorrow will be to play simple golf and make smart decisions."
