THE RUNDOWN
AUSTIN, Texas – Baylor women’s golf has a four-shot lead after recording a two-round total of 8-under-par 568 on Saturday at the Betsy Rawls Invitational. The Bears shot 1-over 289 in the morning and 9-under 279 in the afternoon.

Baylor (-8) leads Texas (-4), Iowa State (+3), TCU (+7), Oklahoma (+10), North Texas (+20), Kansas (+20) and Texas Tech (+23). Oklahoma State entered four individuals, but is not competing as a team, and Kansas State is the only other Big 12 program not competing at the tournament.

Gurleen Kaur tied a school-record with a 7-under 65 in the second round after shooting even-par 72 in the morning. She leads the 51-player field by one stroke and is looking to win consecutive tournaments after tying for first place at the season-opening Schooner Fall Classic.
