MEMPHIS- The Millsaps Majors women's golf team is in fifth place at the turn after day one of the Rhodes Invitational.
Lauren Durbin led the Majors with a team low 81. Lauren Barattini was right behind her shooting an even 90. Durbin is in ninth place after day one while Barattini is in a tie for 21st.
"We are starting to see some improvements with our team score each week we compete," coach Eddie Brescher said after the round. "We had some good practice sessions back home before heading to this event, so our team is starting to find a comfort zone in tournament situations as our confidence increases."
The Majors have seen continued improvement week to week and round to round. This semester the Majors have improved on their first round scores in every tournament they have competed in. Durbin improved 15 shots to capture the Hal Sutton Invitational in the last tournament for the Majors. Coach Brescher knows the team has the talent and will look to improve on Monday's round.
"The weather is suppose to be good tomorrow, so we look to improve on our first round scores for the second round," Brescher said.
