  • Improving her performance by two strokes, Molly McCluskey was +8 on the day. She had her worst hole to start the day, scoring a double–bogey on Hole 10, but tallied just six bogeys for the remainder of the round.

  • Jenna Rutledge had a bumpy start to the round with a triple-bogey and a double–bogey on her second and third holes. After shooting nine strokes over par on the front half of her day, she settled down for a five–over par second half, finishing the round at +14 and ending the tournament 26 strokes over par.
  • Three–straight double–bogeys to start the day made for a tough round for Chloe Kraus. The senior finished the day at 17 strokes over par, making her two–round total +28.
