May 7, 1999
COLUMBIA, S.C. - The opening round of the 1999 NCAA Women's Golf East
Regional weathered through two separate severe weather delays totaling
two and one-half hours with play being suspended due to darkness late
Thursday. Six of the 19 teams will complete the first round Friday
morning with second round action starting at 8:40 a.m.
Host South Carolina, Wake Forest, Auburn, Indiana, Campbell and North
Carolina did not finish play Thursday and will complete their rounds
Friday before starting the second 18 holes. The Lady Gamecocks, Lady
Camels and Lady Tar Heels had two players each complete their rounds
while the remaining three teams have all of their players on the course.
With 13 of the 19 teams off the course, Furman leads the field with a
season-low, two-over 290 team score. The Lady Paladins were led by
Jennifer Perri, who fired a one-under 71, while No. 5 player Dara
Broadus posted a one-over 73, almost 10 strokes under her season stroke
average. Top-ranked Duke currently stands in second place at 292, while
Florida State is third among completed teams with a 296 score. The top
individual round of the day came from Penn State's Laura Hammond, who
posted a three-under 69 score to lead the finishers by two strokes.
After play Saturday, the top eight teams and two individuals from
non-qualifying teams and individual participants will advance to the
NCAA Championships, May 19-22, at the Tulsa (Okla.) Country Club.
