PANAMA CITY BEACH, Fla. — The Dartmouth women's golf team stands in fifth place following Friday's first round of the Lady Bison Bay Point Classic, hosted by Lipscomb University. The Big Green are shooting 18-over-306, with both senior Katherine Sung and first-year Caroline Chung in the top 10.

"You cannot win it on the first round," said Alex Kirk, Carolyn A. Pelzel '54a Head Coach of Women's Golf. "We played well overall. I am happy with the start in windy conditions. We completed the round as thunderstorms opened up. We are leading in Par 3 scoring, but can make up some ground on the Par 5s."

Through the first 18 holes, Abilene Christian is first at 10-over-298, followed by Yale (12-over-300), Austin Peay (16-over-304) and Harvard (17-over-306), followed by Dartmouth.

Sung shot 2-over-74 on Friday, which was tied for fourth overall. Chung was also in the top 10, tied for 10th at 4-over-76.

Also for the Big Green, senior Penelope Tir shot 5-over-77, sophomore Sophie Thai came in at 7-over-79 and junior Claire Xu shot 11-over-83.

Dartmouth will return to action for the second of three rounds on Saturday with an 8 a.m. shotgun start.

"We're looking forward to the rest of the weekend," said Kirk. "It's a marathon, not sprint. Plenty of golf left."
