Patriots Sit Three Strokes Back of First After Season Low 296 at West Texas A&M Fall Invitational

The UT Tyler women's golf team was led by junior Kaitlyn Charles, who shot an even-par round of 72, to put the Patriots in contention in Amarillo, Texas

AMARILLO, TEXAS – The UT Tyler women's golf team shot a season-low 296 in the opening round of the West Texas A&M Fall Invitational on Monday afternoon at Tascosa Country Club to sit in a tie for second place on the team leaderboard.
 
The Patriots best round to date in the 2021-22 season placed them in a three-way tie alongside #13 Texas A&M-Commerce and #17 West Texas A&M heading into tomorrow's final round. Junior Kaitlyn Charles shined on Monday afternoon for UT Tyler thanks to a back-nine 36 that featured a trio of birdies to sit in a tie for fifth on the individual leaderboard.
 
Charles' low round thus far in her Patriot career was not the lone strong showing for head coach Grant Spencer's team, as Raelynn Hardgrave posted a 74 while Julia Kerrigan and Zoe Mayfield both shot rounds of 75.
 
Hardgrave will enter tomorrow in a tie for 12th, while Kerrigan and Mayfield are tied in 17th place on the leaderboard. Freshman Brooke Wagner rounded out the scoring team with a 78, while individual competitor Lauren Christl shot a 79.
 
UT Tyler led the field with 53 pars on the day alongside Arkansas-Fort Smith and Oklahoma Christian, and recorded 11 birdies as a team in round one.
 
The Patriots will enter tomorrow's round three strokes back of overnight leader Angelo State, who paced the field with a team score of 293. West Texas A&M's Alyssa Campbell is four shots clear of the field after a six-under 65 on Monday.
 
Angelo State, Texas A&M-Commerce, West Texas A&M and UT Tyler will all be paired together for tomorrow's 9 a.m. shotgun start off holes 1-through-4.
