May 11, 2021 | Women's Golf
SIMPSONVILLE, Ky. – The second round of NCAA Regional competition came to a close for the Tennessee women's golf team on Tuesday.
Tennessee is in 13th place and eight strokes off the cut line entering Wednesday's final round.
"Tomorrow is a go for broke round," head coach Judi Pavon said. "We need to play more aggressively and try to make something happened. Today was a pretty good team round, but the conditions were better so there were some low scores out there."
Micheala Williams-Luck shot even-par (72) on Tuesday and is in 20th place heading into day three. Her score marks the fourth time in the past five rounds that the graduate student has registered par or better. She had three consecutive under-par rounds at the SEC Championship.
Freshman Vanessa Gilly shot 1-over, 73, in the second round and is +4 overall through 36 holes. She is positioned in a tie for 31st place at 4-over, 148.
Mikayla Bardwell shot 3-over, 75, on Tuesday and currently stands tied for 28th place at +3 (147). The junior is on the cusp of her fifth top-25 finish of the season.
Kayla Holden rounded out Tennessee's second round scoring lineup, finishing round two with a score of +2 (74). She is tied for 78th place ahead of Wednesday's final round.
Sophomore Nicole Whiston shot 5-over on day two in Simpsonville. She is tied for 84th place.
The third and final round of the Regional will take place on Wednesday.
