ST. GEORGE, Utah – After two rounds of the BYU Dixie Classic at the Entrada at Snow Canyon Golf Course, the University of Wyoming Cowgirl golf team owns the sixth spot out of 15 teams.
“We played well this morning on a very difficult course,” UW coach Josey Stender said. “We were making our putts and minimized our mistakes.”
After an opening 301, the Cowgirls shot a 324 in the second round.
“This course is very unforgiving and it makes you pay for your mistakes if you don’t learn from them,” said Stender.
Junior Jonelle Martinez is tackling this course for the third-time in her career and played consistent and conservative, as she opened with a two-round total of 154 (+10) strokes, and currently sits in a tie for 16th place. Fellow junior Sarah Fogerty is not far behind as she sits in a tie for 20th place with her first-day total of 156 (+12) strokes.
“This is one of those courses that the more you play the better you know it and better you play,” said Stender. “Jonelle played very well and showed great leadership for us on the course. Tomorrow if we can go out there and play without fear and play the way we know we can we should do pretty well."
The Cowgirls will continue action on Wednesday, beginning at 8:30 a.m., with live stats at http://www.golfstat.com/.
