Cowgirl golfers third at Hiddenbrooke Intercollegiate

The University of Wyoming women’s golf team took opened in third place Saturday at the Hiddenbrooke Intercollegiate in Vallejo, Calif.

The Cowgirls shot a team 327 (+39) which is only six strokes behind the leading Central Arkansas ladies.

Sophomore Molly Black and junior Jonelle Martinez are tied for sixth place in the field with an 80, eight shots above par. Fellow junior Sarah Fogerty was not far behind with her opening 83 (+11), good for a tie of 24th place. Sophomore Jenna Zamprelli concluded the first-round with an 84 (+12) and a tie for 31st-place.

“Molly and Janelle played really tough today and really hung in there on a day where the conditions were not great,” Cowgirl coach Josey Stender said. “There was quite a bit of wind to combine with a lot of hazards and elevation changes made for a tough course. I think if we gut it out we can make up those strokes, hopefully the conditions are better.”

The tournament concludes with 18 holes on Sunday and a final 18 on Monday.
