THE RUNDOWN
NORMAN, Okla. – Baylor women’s golf posted the third-best score round in program history with a 5-under-par 275 in Saturday’s second round at the Schooner Fall Classic. The Bears climbed five spots into fifth place at 10-over 570 with one round remaining at Belmar Golf Club.



Baylor tied the best second-round score in the 15-team field at 5-under, which was a 20-stroke improvement from their first-round score of 15-over. The Bears (+10) trail only Oklahoma (-3), Texas (-2), Alabama (+6) and Illinois (+8) entering Sunday’s final round. BU leads Mississippi State (+11), Houston (+12), Florida State (+13), Clemson (+15), Louisville (+16), Texas A&M (+21), Notre Dame (+22), Texas State (+23), Miami (+23) and TCU (+28).



Baylor’s Gurleen Kaur and Elodie Chapelet both posted career-best rounds of 4-under 66, becoming the sixth and seventh players in program history to card 66 or better. Kaur started on the back-9 and made three birdies on his first seven holes. She was 3-under at the turn, and after a bogey on No. 1 she made birdies on No. 6 and No. 9 to finish at 4-under. Chapelet also took the turn at 3-under after making three straight birdies on Nos. 14, 15 and 16. She got to 4-under with a birdie on No. 3, then recovered from a double bogey on No. 4 by making birdies on Nos. 7 and 8.



Kaur is tied for sixth place in the 81-player field at 2-under 138 through 36 holes, while Chapelet is tied for 11th at even-par 140. Erica Chiang carded even-par 70 to climb into a tie for 36th place at 5-oer 145, while Fiona Liddell and Diane Baillieux recorded matching rounds of 3-over 73. Liddell is tied for 49th place at 7-over 147, and Baillieux is tied for 60th place at 9-over 149.
