Norman, Oklahoma – On a windy day at Belmar Golf Club, the Baylor women’s golf team is in fifth place after shooting an 11-over par 571.

Freshman Antonia Matte and senior Gurleen Kaur led the way for Baylor and are currently tied for 4th as individuals shooting identical 1-under 139’s through 36 holes.
“Today was a very difficult day,” Head Coach Jay Goble said. “Gurleen and Antonia played smart. They hit it in fairways, they hit it in the middle of greens. They played really smart.”

Rosie Belsham, despite not feeling 100-percent, opened the tournament with an even par-70 in the morning round. Belsham is currently tied for 47th as an individual heading into the final round on Monday morning.

Junior Hannah Karg is tied for 40th entering Monday after a 6-over 146 highlighted by a 1-over par 71 in the first round on Sunday morning.

Sophomore Britta Snyder is tied for 60th after shooting an 11-over 151 but finished strong playing her final three holes in one under par.

Oklahoma State enters the final round with an 18-shot lead over second-place Illinois. Baylor is within four shots of the second-place Illini.
