Buffs Fight Hard In Tough Second Round At Golfweek Challenge
September 23, 2014 | Women's Golf
WOLCOTT – The University of Colorado women's golf team faced windy conditions and tough pin placements on Tuesday in the second round of the Golfweek Conference Challenge held at Red Sky Golf Club in Wolcott, Colo.
“Our players worked hard and tried their heart out,” said Colorado head coach Anne Kelly. “It just wasn't a day that went well for anybody."
Tori Glenn, Megan Haase and Allie Zech are all playing as individuals for the Buffaloes this week.
Zech posted an 80 or 8-over par on the second day of competition. She had a solid start with a birdie on no. 10, her first hole of the day. The CU junior improved her mark on the tough par-3 from yesterday by three strokes. The Indian Wells, Calif. native was even-par through the first four holes then finished 3-over par on the back nine and went 5-over on the front. Zech is tied for 43rd place with a 76-80–156 or 12-over par after the first two rounds.
Glenn (72-90–162) recorded an 18-over par, 90 and is tied for 68th after a challenging second round. The redshirt freshman pared her first hole and then went 11-over through the next 10 holes. She bogeyed three straight, but finished strong with a birdie on her last hole.
Haase is 36-over par and in 87th place. She fought hard, but struggled with her ball striking throughout the second round and posted a 23-over par, 95.
“They had some U.S. Open pins out there today, but no matter what it's good experience for our players to work on course management,” said Kelly. “They all tried hard, but it just wasn't a good day for the Buffs. We just have to learn from it and learn how to handle the conditions a little better.”
The Golfweek Conference Challenge concludes Wednesday with a shotgun start at 8:30 a.m. MT.
