No. 3 South Carolina T-7th After 18 holes in Florida

Freshman Louise Rydqvist shot 72 (E) and is T-11th to lead the team

MELBOURNE, Fla. — No. 3 South Carolina shot 295 (+7) in its opening round of the spring on Sunday at the Moon Golf Invitational. The Gamecocks are T-7th with No. 17 Auburn. Scoring was tough with No. Virginia and Florida State the only teams in the field to shoot under par with its four counting scores.  
 
Freshman Louise Rydqvist paced Carolina with a 72 (E). She finished strong with birdies on her final two holes. The Jönköping, Sweden, native is T-11th.

“We face extremely windy conditions today,” said head coach Kalen Anderson. “Overall the team is playing very well and we need to continue to have confidence in our process. Unfortunately we received a few tough breaks and bounces in today’s round. Hopefully the next two days we can make a quicker adjustment to changing wind conditions. I look forward to making a competitive move up the leaderboard the next couple of days.” 
 
Graduate transfer Tai Anudit (73, +1), junior Mathilde Claisse (74, +2) and freshman Hannah Darling (76, +4) were the other counting scores for the Gamecocks. Junior transfer Justine Fournand shot 77 (+5). Sophomore Paula Kirner shot 75 (+3) playing as an individual.
