Ladies’s Golf Leads Blugold Georgianni Invitational After Day One

ALTOONA, Wis. – The Gustavus Adolphus College ladies’s golf staff is competing within the Blugold Georgianni Invitational this weekend in opposition to the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire Blugolds, the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse Eagles, and Viterbo University V-Hawks. The Gusties lead the sector after the opening day with a staff rating of +41.

“The team had a solid first day on the course, managing some tough pin placements and fast greens,” stated Gustavus assistant coach Sarah Wolter. “The wind was a factor because the course is right next to a lake, so the players had more up and downs than usual but persevered for some impressive saves. Overall, it was a good start to the tournament despite higher scores than usual and we look forward to traversing a new course, Eau Claire Country Club, tomorrow.”

The Eagles path Gustavus in second place by 13 strokes at +54, the Blugolds are third at +59, and the V-Hawks comply with the Gustie and Eagle B-teams in sixth place at +91.

  

Addison Longie and Lauren Hubbart lead Gustavus at +9 after the opening spherical, tying them for second total out of the sector of 36 golfers.

 

Riley Zebroski follows proper after Longie and Hubbart at fourth total with a gap spherical of +11.

 

Teckla Wahlstrand rounds out the top-four counted scores for the Gusties after spherical one at +12, inserting the first-year in a three-player tie for fifth total.

 

“The team played really well today and everyone was very resilient through some tough holes,” stated Hubbart. “The greens were playing hard and fast after the course hosted a senior amateur tournament, but we were able to get the hang of them as our round carried on. I’m looking forward to seeing how our team finishes up tomorrow at Eau Claire Country Club.”

 

Gustavus will compete within the remaining day of the Blugold Georgianni Invitational on Sunday, September 7.
