LAWRENCE, Kan. -- Texas Women's Golf senior Nicole Vandermade recorded the only under-par score of the Big 12 Championship while shooting a 1-under 69 in Saturday's second round at Lawrence Country Club. After 11 bogeys yesterday, Vandermade made par on all holes except for a birdie on nine and finished the day in a tie for fifth individually at 10-over 150 (81-69).
As a team, the Longhorns (325-298=623) are in sixth place and 15 strokes behind 36-hole leader Oklahoma (316-292=608, +48) with one round remaining.
Texas had a 21-stroke improvement to move from eighth place at the beginning of the day. Friday's first-round scores averaged 81.40 as wind ravaged the Lawrence area. Under more desirable conditions, scores on Saturday averaged nearly five strokes better overall with an average of 76.78.
Freshman Bertine Strauss (77-78=155, +15) followed her team-best 77 yesterday with an 8-over 78 in round two and is in 14th place. Junior Haley Stephens (84-74=158) cracked the top-20 a 4-over 74 and is tied for 19th place at 18-over.
Juniors Desiree Dubreuil (83-77=160) and Katelyn Sepmoree (88-79=167) are tied for 31st and 47th places, respectively.
The final round is set to begin Sunday at 8 a.m. Central. The top six teams will tee off from the first hole with the leaders beginning at 9:52 a.m.
