Northwestern extends lead, Alabama moves to fourth at NCAA regional

The Northwestern women's golf team expanded their lead to six strokes after the second round of the NCAA Shoal Creek regional on Friday.

Windy conditions and a long golf course once again led to tough scoring conditions, with Northwestern shooting 296-294—590, followed by Florida State at second (299-297—596).

Florida State’s Matilda Castren (74-71) and Northwestern’s Kacie Komoto (72-73) are tied for the lead individually on 1-over 145.

Northwestern also has Sarah Cho (75-72–147, 5th) and Janet Mao (74-74–148, tied-6th) in the top six.

“The girls kept grinding all day again,” Emily Fletcher, head coach of Northwestern, said.
