Gala Dumez sits in a tie for second overall after a 3-under-par opening round Sunday
LUBBOCK, Texas – The No. 29 Texas Tech women's golf team wrapped round one of the Big 12 Championships in seventh place after a combined 2-over-par 290 team effort Sunday at The Club of Carlton Woods in the Woodlands, Texas.
Â
Gala Dumez, in her debut at the Big 12 Championships, led the way for the Red Raiders, posting a 3-under 69 that included a stretch of three-straight birdies on the back nine. Dumez was 4-under overall over the final nine holes after another birdie at the par-5 17th, placing her three strokes back of individual leader Gurleen Kaur of Baylor.
Â
Sofia Garcia added a steady round of her own at even-par with only two bogeys and a pair of birdies coming at the par-4 5th and at the 17th. She is currently in a tie for 13th place overall as the junior will be searching for her third career top-10 finish at the Big 12 Championships over the next two days.
Â
Amy Taylor, after a 2-under, bogey-free front nine, signed for a 2-over card for a share of 30th place. Cecilie Nielsen, meanwhile, carded a 3-over round to sit in a tie for 34th, while Anna Dong rounded out Tech's lineup in 44th place at 6-over for the day.
Â
As a team, the Red Raiders are only five strokes back of third place as Tech is one stroke back of TCU in sixth place, three behind Kansas State and Oklahoma in a tie for fourth. Kansas and Iowa State are six strokes back of the Red Raiders in a tie for eighth place.
Â
Oklahoma State jumped out to the opening-day lead following a 9-under round that was four strokes better than second place Baylor. Texas was two strokes back of the Bears in third place at 3-under overall.
Â
Tech will be paired with both Kansas and Iowa State when play resumes at 8 a.m. Monday with Dong leading off for the Red Raiders. Live coverage of round two will be available via Golfstat.com.
