AUSTIN, Texas – Baylor junior Gurleen Kaur carded a 4-under 67 in Tuesday’s qualifying round at the 99th Women’s Texas Amateur golf tournament to earn Medalist honors and the No. 1 seed in the Championship Match Play Bracket.

“Gurleen has never stopped working hard on her game, and it does not surprise me at all that she had a great first day at the Texas Women's Am,” Baylor head coach Jay Goble said. “She has made some great adjustments with her swing coach, and has also done really well with a different outlook in regards to her putting. Gurleen is playing a lot of competitive golf the next few weeks, and I see this as a start to a fantastic month for her.”

Kaur recorded six birdies on the day at the University of Texas Golf Club, shooting a 2-under 33 on the front nine and a 2-under 34 on the back. The Houston, Texas, native finished four shots clear of the four players who tied for second place at even par.

Kaur will tee off in the match play round of 32 Wednesday at 7:30 a.m. CT against No. 32 seed Estelle Beck of Lakeway. The round of 16 will also be played Wednesday.
