GREENWOOD, S.C. - UNC Asheville women's golf is in sixth place with Madyson Gold in ninth place individually after day two of the Big South Conference Championships on Thursday (Apr. 13). Â
Asheville turned in a 316 on the day to bring the team's 36-hole total to 629, sitting just three shots off of fifth-place Charleston Southern and nine shots off of fourth-place Longwood. Gold turned in a 76 (+4) on the second day, while Kayla Benge and Phoebe Carles sit in a tie for 21st after both turning in an 81 (+9) on the day. Ally Kerr rebounded with a 79 (+7) to tie for 34th after two days, while Hailey Pendleton also carded an 80 (+8) on the day.
Gold began her day with three consecutive pars on the back nine, before making bogey on No. 13. She would post pars on the next three holes, before making bogey on No. 17 and a par on No. 18. She would make the turn to the front with a bogey on No. 1, before making par on the next two holes. After a double bogey on No. 4, she would par No. 5 and birdie the next two holes before finishing with a par on No. 8 and a bogey on No. 9.
Kerr also began her day with three straight pars on the back nine, before making bogey on No. 13 and par on the following three holes. After a bogey on No. 17 and a par on No. 18, she would make the turn to the front. She began the front with a par on No. 1 and a birdie on No. 2, before making a par on No. 3. She would bogey the next three holes, before making par on No. 7, bogey on No. 8 and double bogey on No. 9.
"After two days of about as bad of golf as we can play, I would say that our destiny is still in our own hands," said head coach Ross Cash. "We are five hours of sustained mental effort, basically one round of play at our ability level from making match play and having a chance to win the Big South Conference. We do not have to play above our ability level or have some heroic round, we just need to play a clean UNC Asheville golf type round. We can do it, we just need to go perform."
The Bulldogs return to action tomorrow (Friday, Apr. 14) for the final day of stroke play. First tee will be at 8:00 a.m., with live results available at www.uncabulldogs.com.Â
