JEKYLL ISLAND- The Millsaps Majors women's golf team sits in 21st place at the Jekyll Island Collegiate after shooting a 428 on day one.
"Overall we would have liked to play a little better today, but this is just the first competition round of the spring for the girls," coach Eddie Brescher said. "It is tough to be away from competition for a few months and pick right back up where we left off in the fall. However, the girls have been working very hard on their games and we expect our scores to improve from here."
The leader in the Majors' clubhouse is Lauren Durbin, who is tied for 33rd after shooting a round of 84 on Friday.
"Durbin played solid for her team today. The toughest part about this golf course is getting into play off the tee and Durbin did great in that aspect," Brescher said. "She hit a descent amount of greens today, but struggled with the putter. Durbin is an exceptional player and I expect her to bounce back from today's round and make a move over the next two days."
Millsaps will look to make a move on day two of the tournament.
Lauren Barattini (97), Emma Mikhalek (116) and, Ashley Cabeceiras (131) will look to shine after getting one round under their belt.
