WEST POINT, Miss. - The Kennesaw State women's golf team posted a 5-under par 283 to grab a one-shot lead after the second round of the Magnolia Invitational on Monday.
"What a great day on the course," Kennesaw State head coach
Rhyll Brinsmead said. "We battled with Ole Miss and Mississippi State all day and the quality of golf was exceptional. I am so proud of this team for their approach today. Ole Miss and Mississippi State had a big crowd of home state supporters and the team handled that pressure so well. Three under-par rounds (68, 69 & 71) is stellar and we have earned the right to be leading at this point. We have an opportunity tomorrow to win this event and I'm looking forward to seeing this team get after it."
