Play paused, soon sixth in the Illini Invitational

MEDINAH When the game was suspended in the second round of the Illini Invitational due to bad weather, the Oklahoma women’s golf team is exactly sixth at the Medinah Country Club.

The second round continues on Tuesday at 8.30am, and the third round begins immediately after the end of the second round. Pairs remain the same to allow for continuous play.
“We played steadily during the first round,” said the Oklahoma women’s golf coach Veronique Drouin-Luttrell. “I’m proud of our players in the fight during the second round. The conditions were tough, but we survived the adversity very well. We have a lot of golf left and we keep playing one at a time.”

The OU is tied for Louisville and Kent State in sixth (-2), while Georgia leads the field.

Libby Winans led Sooners in the first round of play and shot 3-under 69 at par-72, 6579 yards on track # 2.

Meagan Winans has tied with his sister to lead the team 3-under during the first half of the second round. M. Winans shot 1-under 71 in the first round and opened the second round with three birds through the first six holes. A pair of Bogeys 10 and 12 brought him into a 1-under pair before a par-4, 321-yard 14-hole birdie dropped him back to 2-under in the second round.

Hannah screen ended in the opening round 2 with over 74, but moved on to 1 division after playing the bird with 13 before the game was suspended in the second round.

Mikhaela Fortuna and Nina Lang rounds the OU conditional condition and are 4 over and 5 over.
