ATHENS, Ga. – Rutgers women's golf is second after round two of the Liz Murphey Collegiate Classic on Sunday in Athens, Georgia. Sophomore Judy Amano carded another one-under-par 71 to highlight action for the Scarlet Knights at the UGA Golf Course.
With one round left to play, RU is 12 strokes behind host Georgia, who leads the 16-team field with a one-over-par 577 (293-284). With its 13-over-par 589 (295-294), Rutgers is four strokes ahead of Florida Gulf Coast (+17). The Bulldogs' Trinity Beth leads the field with a nine-under-par 135 (66-69).
Amano is seven strokes behind Beth with her two-under-par 142 (71-71) and is sixth in the 89-player field. Amano is one of just seven individuals under par ahead of Monday's final round.
"Today was another solid round for us," said head coach Kari Williams. "Judy continued her good play and Grace bounced back nicely. We've had good stretches out here and just need to fight for every shot tomorrow."
