CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – After a 36-hole day, Baylor women’s golf carded a 16-over 603 to settle in to 13th place at the Ruth’s Chris Tar Heel Invite on Monday in North Carolina.

After the first round, the Bears were in 10th place with an 11-over 299. Silje Ohma and Sera Hasegawa were the standard-bearers for BU with a pair of 1-over 73s. After the second round, Baylor dropped three places, ending the day with 16-over 603.

Florida currently leads the field with a 6-under 562, while Gator Maisie Filler topped the individual leaderboard at 10-under 134.

THE RUNDOWN
First Round
Ohma opened her round at No. 16 with a quick birdie to start. She gave a couple of strokes back with bogeys at Nos. 18 and 2, before getting back to even with a birdie at No. 8. Ohma’s up-and-down round included a couple more bogeys at Nos. 9 and 14 before ending with a birdie at No. 15 to get back to 1-over.

Hasegawa matched Ohma with a 1-over 73 of her own. The Bear claimed a birdie on her second hole of the day at No. 18. At No. 2, Hasegawa recorded a double bogey, before getting back to even at No. 5 with a birdie. Following eight-straight pars, the junior recorded a pair of bogeys at Nos. 14 and 16 around a birdie at No. 15 to close the round.

In her season debut, Britta Snyder played her first seven holes at even par. Her first blemish came at No. 7 with a bogey, followed by four more on Nos. 9, 10, 11 and 12. Snyder got one shot back with a birdie at No. 14 to sign for a 4-over 76.

Rosie Belsham started on No. 15 and opened with three straight pars. A bogey at No. 18 was offset by a birdie at No. 1, but the senior played her next two holes at 3-over with a double bogey at No. 2 and a bogey at No. 3. Three more bogeys dotted her card at Nos. 8, 9 and 12, before she carded a birdie to end the round at No. 13 for a 5-over 77.

Freshman Ashleen Kaur also finished round one with a 5-over 77. Starting at No. 17, she played her first five holes at even par and dipped into red figures with a birdie at No. 4. She ran into trouble at No. 9 with a string of three straight bogeys. She briefly stemmed the tide with a birdie at No. 12, but played her final four holes at 4-over after double bogeys at Nos. 13 and 14.

Second Round
Ohma also fired a 1-over 73 in the second round to finish tied for 19th. Starting on No. 16, the sophomore carded four bogeys in her first 10 holes, but settled in to finish strong with birdies at Nos. 10, 13 and 14.

Kaur opened with a bogey on her first hole of the round at No. 17, one of six bogeys she made in her first 15 holes. She closed strong, though, with back-to-back birdies at Nos. 14 and 15 to finish day one in 59th place.

Belsham carded a 5-over 77 in the afternoon to finish tied for 60th. The senior made a birdie on her fifth hole of the day at No. 1 before she bogeyed five of her next 11 holes to fall back to 4-over for the round. Her second birdie of the day came at No. 13, but it was quickly erased by a double bogey at her final hole of the day, No. 14.

Hasegawa finished day one in a tie for 49th after a 6-over 78 in round two. After an opening birdie at No. 17, the junior made a double bogey at No. 1 to drop back over par. Her second birdie of the round came at No. 7, but she stumbled out of contention with a 10 at the par-3 9th. She was able to close strong, though, playing her final seven holes at 1-under par.

Britta Snyder is tied for 71st, entering the final round after a 9-over 81 in the second round. She started with five bogeys in her first eight holes to turn to her second nine at 5-over. The senior improved by a shot on her second nine, with her only two blemishes coming in the form of a bogey at No. 12 and a triple-bogey at No. 13.
