TEGA CAY, S.C. - After two days of play at the season-opening tournament, The Shamrock, Bucknell's Amy Loughney (Macugnie, Pa./Allentown Central) is tied for the individual lead, while the Bison women's golf team stands fourth out of 13 teams.
Loughney has carded a 77 each of the first two days of the event for an overall score of 154. She is tied with Kenesaw State's Patricia Kim and Elon's Taylor Johnson for the top spot in the 72-player field. She is one of just five players in the field to shoot under 80 both days on the par-72 course.
As a team, Bucknell trails only host Winthrop, Elon and Longwood. Winthrop and Elon are tied for first with two-day scores of 634. Longwood holds third with a score of 648, four better than the 652 for the Bison. Bucknell's day-two total of 322 was second in the field behind Winthrop's 312.
In addition to Loughney, the Bison have three other team members among the top 30. Deirdre Moran (Bryn Mawr, Pa./Academy of Notre Dame) finished the second day of competition tied for 20th with a 84-81-165.
