The freshman fired five consecutive birdies, seven total, before play was suspended
FAIRFAX, Calif. – In the midst of one of the most impressive rounds in school history, Tech true freshman Shannon Tan recorded five consecutive birdies and seven total midway her bogey-free second round at the Juli Inkster Invitational, Monday hosted by San Jose State and San Francisco at the Meadow Club.
With just six holes remaining, Tan is on pace to record a career-best 65.
After opening with a round of 72 during the cold and rainy opening round, Tan used a pair of birdies on her fourth and sixth holes of the second round to get started.
Following a par on hole number 10 (her seventh of the round since she started the day on four), Tan rattled off the five consecutive birdies to pull into solo possession of first place.
Tan will have six holes remaining in the second round before the final 18 holes on Tuesday.
Play was suspended multiple times Monday due to heavy rain and wind, as teams finished between 24 and 30 holes before play was suspended due to darkness.
And while Tan certainly stole the show in the second round, sophomore Chiara Horder got the day started well early for Tech. The German birdied five of her first 10 holes during round one to sit in solo first midway through the opening round.
