NEW ORLEANS, La. -- Through 36 holes at the Tulane Classic Presented By Chad Brownstein, the Southern Miss women's golf team is in fifth place. Elena Melich leads all Golden Eagles playing at English Turn Golf & Country Club in fourth place on the individual leaderboard.
Momoka Ando and Taylor Trible led the birdie train today with four each. Both birdied their second hole of the day, while both also had a stretch of two birdies in three holes. Melich birdied three holes, including two on the front nine to shirt an even-par 72.Â
Merche Corbacho improved her score by five strokes thanks in large part to a three-birdie performance in her second round. She also limited her bogey total to five. She sits in a tie for 24th after her two-over 74. Trible fired a two-over 74 to climb into a tie for 31st. Her Monday round was six strokes better than her previous round. Ando had the biggest climb of the day, shooting a two-over 74 after shooting an 81 yesterday.Â
The Golden Eagles will tee off at 8:40 a.m. on Tuesday morning to play the final 18 holes. Purdue leads the event at eight-over, while Southern Miss is sitting 33-over. It trails UTEP, Incarnate Word, Tulane and the Boilermakers.Â
