JACKSONVILLE BEACH, Fla. - The Purdue Fort Wayne women's golf team opened its season on a blustery day in Florida at the Benbow Invitational. Laura Caetano led the Mastodons with a first-round score of 80. As a team, Purdue Fort Wayne shot a 335 on Monday (March 8).
On a Florida day that was colder than in Fort Wayne with wind chill, Caetano finished her round with seven pars and a birdie. She got a birdie on the par-5 second hole, which featured a tough tee shot with trouble on the left. Caetano tied for ninth in the opening round.
Anna Olafsdottir finished at 14th overall with an 82. She also got a birdie on the 516 par-5 second. Her round saw six par puts go down.
Holly Anderson shot an 85 with a pair of birdies on Nos. 2 and 5. The fifth hole was a 413 par-4 that Anderson used to help her to a 37 on the front. She finished with five pars to pair her two birdies.
Emma Schroeder shot an 88 to round out the team score with six pars, three on each side. Linnzie Richner shot a 94 with five pars.
Kennedy Brooker competed as an individual, shooting an 86. This was the second-best among student-athletes not playing for their respective team scores.
The Mastodons head into day two in fifth place with their 335. Butler leads the field with a 319. Evansville's Sophia Rohleder is the top individual through 18 holes, shooting a 75 on day one.
The second round will begin with a shotgun start at 9 a.m. on Tuesday (March 9).
