Gamecocks Lead After Second Round at The Ally
WEST POINT, Miss. - South Carolina's women's golf team locked in on Tuesday, shooting a second round 7-under 281 to jump into first place at The Ally the Old Waverly Golf Club.
Sophomore Pauline Roussin-Bouchard found her groove early and finished the day with seven birdies on her way to a 6-under 66 and a tie for second place heading into the final round. It's the second lowest round of Roussin-Bouchard's career, only bested by her second 7-under 65 at the 2019 Windy City Collegiate Classic.
Senior Lois Kaye Go brought her A-game on Tuesday, sinking five birdies to secure a 1-under 71 and a tie for ninth place. Sophomore Mathilde Claisse also finished the day with a 1-under 71, she's tied for 19th heading into Wednesday's final round.
Freshman Paula Kirner finished strong with birdies on two of her final three holes to end the day with a 3-over 75 to move into a tie for 24th place, while senior Pimnipa Panthong got back into her flow and finished with a 1-over 73 to move up to a tie for 29th place.
The 7-under 281 is tied for the sixth-lowest second round score in program history, and Roussin-Bouchard's 66 is tied for both the third lowest second round score for any golfer in the team's history and the second lowest score for any individual round from a sophomore.
The Ally wraps up on Wednesday with a 9:30 a.m. ET shotgun start
