OPELIKA, Ala.- The No. 35 Kennesaw State women's golf team began play at the NCAA Auburn Regional on Monday at the par-72 Saugahatchee Country Club.
"This is not the day we had planned to earn our way out of regionals but that's the way golf is," head coach
Rhyll Brinsmead said. "We prepared well but didn't take advantage today and find ourselves in a position where we will need to go low the next two days. The positive is we have done that before and I know these five are capable of red numbers."
The Owls posted a 20-over par 308 in the opening round and are in 15
th place. No. 6 Vanderbilt leads the 18-team field at 1-under par 287.
