Dulcie from Southend leads the way
FROM KENNESAW STATE UNIVERSITY WEBSITE
KISSIMMEE, Florida – Sophomore Dulcie Sverdloff, pictured below, from Southend paced the Kennesaw State women's golf team as the Owls hold a 16-stroke lead and the top-four individual spots following the first round at the 2015 Atlantic Sun Conference Championship on a hot and humid Sunday (April 12) at the par-72, 6,146-yard Reunion Resort Watson Course.
"Today was a fun day," said head coach Rhyll Brinsmead. "I am exhausted. It is hot out here, but we played great one through five. Obviously being one-two-three-four on the leaderboard, I
not ask for anything more. I am super proud. We did not even get off to that good of a start honestly and I knew it would take us a few holes to settle in there and get our flow going and stay patient. "I talked to the team a little bit and told them this is a marathon and not a sprint, but they sprinted towards the finish line today and we played really well."
The Owls carded a one-under par 287 to open the conference championship, with Sverdloff leading all individuals after turning in the lone sub-par round on Sunday with a two-under par 70. The Southend-on-Sea, Essex native registered four birdies on the day and went one-under par with a birdie and eight pars on the back nine holes.
Senior Kaew Preamchuen and sophomore Laura Estefenn are two strokes off Sverdloff's lead and tied for second after posting an even-par 72 in their first round. After going three-over par in her first nine holes, Preamchuen rebounded to shoot three-under par on the back nine, including a stretch of four birdies in five holes. Estefenn was steady throughout the day, recording 16 pars and one birdie to start the tournament.
Sitting right behind the duo in a tie for fourth is senior Ines Lescudier, who posted a one-over par 73, while freshman Henriette Nielsen is tied for 10th after recording a three-over par 75 in her first A-Sun Championship appearance.
Florida Gulf Coast, for whom English student Georgia Price had a round of 80 for a share of 28th place, sits in second place with a 15-over par 303 in its opening round, while Jacksonville rounds out the top three with a 16-over par total of 304 on Sunday.
Dollar's Eilidh Watson (Stetson Uni) shot an 84 for 36th place in a field of 40 players
Second round action at the A-Sun Conference Championship continues tomorrow, Monday, April 13 with KSU's tee times beginning at 8:45 a.m. ET off of the No. 1 tee. Live scorig for the second round will be available HERE.
