GREENVILLE, S.C. -- Texas Tech women's golf moved into a tie for second following a 2-over par 290 on Monday at the Lady Paladin Invitational at Furman University.
Tech (293-290--583) is tied with No. 29 Wake Forest and four shots ahead of No. 31 Florida State and No. 38 Kansas.
Junior transfers Sarah Brown and Gennai Goodwin continue to pace the Lady Raiders through two rounds and find themselves in the top 10 individually at a tie for fourth and seventh, respectively. Goodwin turned in her second consecutive 1-under 71 while Brown remains at even par after another 72.
Senior Elin Arvidsson shaved two strokes from her first round with a 1-over 73 on Monday to move into a tie for 20th while fellow senior Stephanie Bertelsen also improved by one stroke with a 2-over 74 and is tied for 27th.
Freshman Gabby Barker rounded out the scores after a 4-over 76.
The Lady Raiders took part in the "Golf Fore Africa" charity on this week along with the other teams competing in the tournament. Each birdie from the participating teams helped secure a pledge toward raising $15,000, which will bring clean water, improved sanitation, and hygiene education to one village. Tech tallied 12 birdies on Monday and has 29 through two rounds.
Tech will tee off in the final round of the tournament beginning at 8:00 a.m. central time Tuesday on holes 1-3 in the final groups alongside Furman and Wake Forest. Follow the live leaderboard at www.birdiefire.com.
