KIAWAH ISLAND, S.C. – Senior Adelyn Deery scored four birdies as UNC Asheville's women's golf team completed the first round of play at the Kiawah Island Spring Classic, Sunday.
As a team, the Bulldogs finished Day One in a tie for 38th place in the field of 53. Their combined score of 315 is the team's third-lowest round of the season. They played the Oak Point Golf Club in the tournament hosted by College of Charleston.
Deery had one birdie on the front nine, coming on the par-4 third hole that she began her round on, and followed with three birdies on the back nine. She fired back-to-back birdies on Holes 12 and 13, and notched a fourth on the par-5 17th hole. She finished the first day tied for 14th in birdies scored.
Deery finished with a 1-over-par 73, which put her in a tie for 31st on the individual leaderboard that boasts more than 260 competitors. It is the lowest individual round of the season for the Bulldogs, surpassing the 74 Deery fired in the second round of the Terrier Intercollegiate, October 28.
