ASHTON STRUGGLES OVER TOUGH
COURSE AT SUFFOLK, VIRGINIA

Ashton Ingram from Fort-William, a freshman student at Belmont Abbey College, North Carolina struggled in her first round over a tough, par-73 course for the Lady Monarch Invitational tournament at the Nansemond River Golf Club at Suffolk, Virginia.
Ashton was lying joint 37th after a 95 – 19 shots behind the leader, Samantha Midmer (Elon University, North Carolina).
But Belmont Abbey, with four freshmen in their line-up and the only non-Division 1 squad in the eight-team field, were doing better than expected at the end of the first day.
They were lying third with a tally of 326 behind leaders Elon University (318) and host college Old Dominion (320).
