Klimentova ties Career-Low Round with Opening Score of 69
PAWLEYS ISLAND, S.C. – The NC State women's golf team wrapped up the opening day of competition at the ACC Championship on Thursday, participating in two rounds of stroke play and currently sitting in fifth place with 18 holes of stroke play remaining to be completed.
An impressive day for the Wolfpack was highlighted by a seven-birdie performance from Lea Klimentova in round one. Klimentova's season-low round of 69 (-3) included a stretch of four-straight birdies on the front nine, enough to place her in a three-way tie for first place through the opening round. Klimentova, a senior, followed up her round one score with a one-under 71, currently sitting in third place amongst all competitors.
Klimentova was joined under par in the first round by Inja Fric, who posted a first-round score of 71 (-1). Fric followed that up with a four-over 76 in the second round, currently sitting in a tie for 20th place.
Natalie Armbruester additionally posted a second-round 76 (+4), a one-shot difference from her opening-round score of 75 (+3).
Lauren Olivares Leon continued what has been a stellar freshman campaign with a round-one 74 (+2), followed by a three-over 75 in round three. She currently sits in a tie for 28th place.
The final member of NC State's lineup was Isabel Amezcua, who improved on her round-one score of 78 (+6) by four shots with a 74 (+2) in round two.
With scores of 289 (+1) and 296 (+8) in rounds one and two, respectively, the Wolfpack currently sits in a tie for fourth place, behind only Wake Forest, Florida State and Duke, all of whom are nationally ranked.
The final round of stroke play is set to take place on Friday, April 15, with tee times beginning at 9 a.m. Live stats will be available throughout the round on GolfStat.com. Friday proves to be a vital day of competition for all teams involved, with the top four team finishers advancing to Saturday's match play semifinals which will be televised on the ACC Network Extra.
