GREENVILLE, S.C. – The Kennesaw State women 's golf team opened play at the 2016 Lady Paladin Invitational on Friday (Sept. 23) at the par-72, 6,313-yard Furman University Golf Course.
 
KSU sits tied for 15th place as a team after registering a 15-over par total of 303 in its first round with sophomore Charlotte Charrayre pacing the Owls with a one-over par score of 73. The France native connected on three birdies on the day and is tied for 30th.
"We were very close today to posting a top-five score," Kennesaw State head coach Rhyll Brinsmead said. "Mental errors cost us on the back nine, we played not to make bogey instead of being aggressive. I'm confident we can continue building on our positives from today. We have two rounds remaining to climb the leaderboard. I'm very proud of Charlotte, she had it three-under at one point in her round and had a very good learning day."
 
Sophomore Medy Thavong and senior Laura Estefenn each turned in a four-over par 76 to sit in a tie for 46th, with Thvong posting 15 pars and Estefenn producing three birdies and nine pars.
