Montana State tied for 14th place after 36 holes in Broken Arrow, Okla.
BROKEN ARROW, Okla. --- The Montana State women's golf team concluded the first day of the Route 66 Invitational in a tie for 14th place after a difficult 36 holes at the Golf Club of Oklahoma on Monday.
The Bobcats concluded the first two rounds with a team score of 622, posting round scores of 313 and 309 in Broken Arrow, Okla. Ashleigh Wilson and Norah Seidl led the Bobcats on day one in a tie for 55th place (11-over 155), Lauren Nau and Elvira Flodström (156) sit one stroke behind in 62nd, and Eva Heinz is tied for 86th place with a 36-hole score of 165.
"A tough couple of rounds for us today," Montana State head coach Brittany Basye said. "I think we got in our own heads a little bit, and we need to figure out how to get out of our own way. We'll have some good conversations tonight about the mental side of the game, trusting our swings, and playing with confidence.
"This is a great golf course, and we just need to get the ball rolling, make some putts, and believe in what we're doing. The good thing about golf is that tomorrow brings another opportunity. We have 18 holes left to go out, compete, trust our games, and finish our fall season strong. I'm looking forward to seeing how these ladies respond tomorrow."
Montana State carded a 313 in Monday morning's opening round, counting a 75 from Wilson, a pair of 79s from Seidl and Nau, and an 80 from Flodström. Wilson birdied three times and strung together eight-straight bogey-free holes across Nos. 3 through 10 to lead the Bobcats in round one. Seidl went bogey free on five of her final six holes, highlighted by a birdie on hole 10. Nau carded seven pars in eight holes in her round, while Flodström marked her opening round with a pair of birdies.
The Bobcats improved to a 309 in the afternoon behind a pair of 76s from Seidl and Flodström, a 77 from Nau, and an 80 from Wilson. Seidl birdied three times in four holes across Nos. 10 through 13 as part of a stretch of six-straight par-or-better holes. She also posted six-straight pars earlier in the round on holes 2 through 7. Flodström birdied on hole 2 and posted eight pars in her final nine holes to close the day. Nau sunk pars on 12 of her first 13 holes and added a birdie on hole 13. Wilson birdied on hole 7 and posted pars on each of her final four holes.
Montana State remains within 10 strokes of Colorado State (12th – 612) and Iowa (13th – 614) with 18 holes to play and is tied with Gonzaga (622) for 14th place. Tulsa leads the field at 1-over 577 after shooting 11-under par in the second round, while Georgia Southern (+9), Coastal Carolina (+12), Wisconsin (+18), and Rutgers (+22) round out the top five teams through 36 holes of play.
Coastal Carolina's Anna Brehm and Tulsa's Zoe Shamy share the individual lead at 3-under 141, while Tulsa's Eva Kiri Fevzer and Samantha Olson, Texas A&M's Athena Singh, and Georgia Southern's Margaux Brejo sit one stroke back in a tie for third at 2-under 142.
Montana State is paired Iowa, Gonzaga, and Seattle U for Tuesday's final round and will tee off from holes 15 through 18 in a 7:30 a.m. MT shotgun start. Live scoring is available at scoreboard.clippd.com.
