Live Scoring and Results
LAKEWOOD, Wash. - Buoyed by a pair of 74's from sophomores Amy Simanton and Demi Runas, the 18th-ranked UC Davis women's golf sits in fifth place at the Edean Ihlanfeldt Invitational after two rounds, heading into Wednesday's final 18 holes at the University of Washington.
Simanton, who shot an opening-round 76 on Monday, moved into a tie for 21st, joining senior Alice Kim who had a 78 and is also at 6-over 150 after 36 holes. Runas remained in the top 10 and is tied for ninth at 2-over 146. Freshman Jessica Chulya and senior Chelsea Stelzmiller each improved their first-day scores, shooting 77 on Tuesday and are tied for 40th and 58th, respectively.
The Aggies shot a 14-over 302 team score on Tuesday, four strokes off their first-round score, and are in fifth place in the 15-team tournament at 24-over 600.
Fifth-ranked Cal continues to hold the lead after shooting a 5-under 283 and is seven shots in front of second-ranked USC at 9-under 567. The Trojans are at 2-under 574 while host Washington is well back in third at 15-over 591. Pepperdine, ranked 40th, is in fourth, just four shots in front of the Aggies at 20-over. UC Davis leads No. 14 Oregon and No. 43 Stanford, which are tied for sixth, by five strokes.
Simanton had a scrambling front nine on Tuesday, mixing three birdies, a bogey and a double-bogey into a par-35 before playing the back two shots over par. A birdie on the par-5, 18th gave her a 74. Runas was two shots over par after nine holes and eventually jumped to four over, but rallied with a pair of birdies over her final five holes to also come in with a 74.
Chulya played her back nine just two over par while Stelzmiller did the same on her front nine as both players cut strokes from their first-round tallies. Kim was just one shot over par on her first nine holes before coming in with a 78.
Emily Childs of California took over sole possession of first place with her second consecutive round of 68 and holds a four-shot lead on the field going into Wednesday's last round. UC Davis will play with Stanford and Pepperdine and tee off beginning at 8:22 a.m.
