AUBURN, Ala. – The 22nd-ranked South Carolina women’s golf team carded an 11-over-par 299 score Friday and stands in eighth place after one round of the Auburn Tiger Derby Invitational at the Auburn University Golf Course. Nineteenth-ranked Tennessee posted a one-over-par 289 and leads No. 4 and host Auburn by two strokes on the par 72, 6,767-yard course. The tournament features 11 of 13 teams ranked currently in the nation’s top 22.

The second round will be Saturday at 9 a.m. (ET) with teams teeing off from both the first and 10th tees. The final round Sunday will start at 9 a.m. (ET) in a shotgun start.

The Lady Gamecocks posted a solid team round and had consistent play up and down the lineup. Two-time defending SEC champion and All-American Kristy McPherson had an even-par 72 and is tied for 10th place to lead the Carolina charge. Junior Adrienne Gautreaux is tied for 21st place with a two-over 74. Rounding out the South Carolina contingent Friday were junior Marci Robinson (75, T26th place), Kory Thompson (78, T45th place) and Erica Battle (78, T45th place). Sophomore Tiffany Catafygiotu had an 83 Friday and is tied for 68th place while vying for individual honors only.

Carolina’s 299 is just 10 strokes off the lead in a tight field. Auburn trails Tennessee by two strokes and is followed by No. 5 Duke (294), No. 10 Texas (294), No. 3 Arizona (296) and No. 9 Southern California to round out the top five. Seventeenth-ranked Georgia is seventh at 298 and is followed closely by the Lady Gamecocks (299). USC is one stroke ahead of top-ranked Oklahoma (300) and nine strokes better than No. 2 Vanderbilt, who shot a 308 Friday to stand in 11th place after 18 holes.

Georgia’s Summer Sirmons and Diana Ramage of host Auburn posted identical three-under 69 scores Friday and are tied for the individual lead. Texas’ Jessica Reese, Annie Thurman of Oklahoma State, Tennessee’s Golda Johansson and Duke’s Leigh Anne Hardin are in a four-way tie for third place at two-under 70 as nine golfers finished under par on the day.
