36-Hole Results
AUSTIN, Texas -- The second day of the NCAA Women's Golf Regional here was no easier for Missouri State than the first day. The Bears shot their second consecutive 319 on Tuesday (May 8) and are in 17th of 18 teams with one round yet to play at the UT Golf Club.
MSU's 638 team total places them ahead of only East Carolina, which had to withdraw from the team competition after three of its players fell ill and couldn't continue in the tournament. Third-rated Arkansas lit up the par 72, 6341-yard layout with a 17-under-par 271 Tuesday and leads with a 555 total, 11 shots ahead of second place Texas at 566. Florida is third at 578 and then four teams -- Baylor, Virginia Tech, Oklahoma and Texas A&M -- are tied for fourth with 581 totals.
