NINETY-SIX, S.C. -- Freshman Lauren Bernard (Malvern, Pa./Academy of Notre Dame) carded a 79 to remain in the top 10 in the individual standings, and the Bucknell women's golf team is now tied for fifth place after posting a second-round 320 on Tuesday at The Patriot Club.
In windier conditions Tuesday, Bernard followed up her opening 75 with a 79 and is in sole possession of sixth place, five strokes behind leader Hannah Hellyer of Gardner-Webb, who shot a tournament best 73 in round two. Bernard was just 1-over par through 10 holes before giving some shots back down the stretch.
Freshman Bridget Wilcox (Bernardsville, N.J./Taft School) also fired a 79 in the second round. Wilcox had nothing worse than bogey on they day and finished with a birdie on 18 to take some momentum into the final round.
Freshman Kasha Scott (Cherry Hills Village, Colo./Cherry Creek) and senior Katie Jurenovich (Warren, Ohio/Howland) both shot 81, and Minjoo Lee (Clarkston, Mich./Clarkston) posted an 84.
