DALLAS - Oklahoma State's women's golf team posted a 295 during its second round on Saturday at the SMU Dallas Athletic Club Invitational to vault itself from a tie for sixth into first place at Dallas Athletic Club.
The Cowgirls entered the day 11 shots off the lead, but used their 7-over team score to move into first. The round, which was the best of the day by 12 strokes, gave OSU a 24-over total of 600 and a four-shot lead at the par-72, 6,301-yard layout.
Freshman Julie Yang followed an opening 70 with a 68 to move from a tie for second into the top spot on the individual leaderboard. The Cowgirl rookie will take a 6-under 138 total and an eight-shot lead into tomorrow's closing round.
Yang started her day with a pair of pars before making her lone bogey of the day at the par-5 third. However, she quickly answered with back-to-back birdies on her next two holes and turned at 1-under 35. Her inward nine included birdies at the 13th, 14th and 17th against zero bogeys en route to her 4-under score.
Senior Kelsey Vines maintained her spot in the top 10, posting a 77 to stand at 150 and tied for seventh place.
Junior Jayde Panos bounced back from an opening 80 with a 73 to move into a tie for 17th place at 153.
