TUCSON, Ariz. – The Kansas women’s golf team improved 13 strokes from round one to round two at the Arizona Wildcat Invitational with a score of 611 (+35) at the Sewalio Golf Club Monday. Kansas was one of only three schools in the 15-team field to complete its second round, which was suspended due to darkness.
Kansas shot a 312 (+24) in round one and was able to improve by 13 strokes in round two as the with a 299 (+11).
Junior Yupaporn Kawinpakorn leads the team after two rounds as she is tied for 44th in the 88-golfer field with a total score of 151 (+7). After shooting a first round score of 79 (+7), Kawinpakorn improved her second round by seven strokes with an even-par 72.
KU senior Minami Levonowich is currently one stroke behind Kawinpakorn and tied for 52nd with a 36-hole score of 152 (+8). She finished her first 18-holes with a score 75 (+3) and concluded her second round with a 77 (+5). Sophomore Pornvipa Sakdee ended up carding a two round score of 153 (+9) and is tied for 60th. Sakdee improved three strokes in her second round shooting 78 (+6) then 75 (+3).
Freshman Pitsinee Winyarat is tied for 76th with a score of 158 (+14). She ended the first round with a 83 (+11) but was able to rebound in the second round, improving by six strokes with a 75 (+5). Senior Gabriella DiMarco is currently tied for 80th at 161 (+17) after concluding her first round with an 80 (+8) and her second round at 81 (+9). Freshman Kallie Gonzales, who played as an individual, is in 86th place with an overall score of 165 (+21). Gonzales had a first round score of 84 (+12) and shot an 81 (+9) for her second round.
“We came back and played better in the second round but still left a lot of shots out there.” Kansas Coach Erin O’Neil said. “We did not play the back side well at all either round and had too many big numbers due to poor tee shots. This course is very much about placement and we need to do a better job tomorrow of putting ourselves in situations where we will walk away with bogey at worse. The greens roll very true and there are birdies to be made if we can get the putters hot. Mook (Kawinpakorn) did a great job of bouncing back in round two with an even par round.”
The second round will resume tomorrow morning at 9 a.m. as the other teams will finish and then the final round will be played after the conclusion of the second round. Live scoring for the event can be found at www.birdiefire.com.
