Marshall Thundering Herd women’s golf began competition at the Conference USA Championship Tournament Monday morning at the Verandah Club in Fort Myers, Florida. The 12-team field finished the first of three rounds in their attempt at this season’s Conference USA Women’s Golf Champion.
The Herd combined for a score of 302 (14-over par) and is currently tied for fifth with Western Kentucky. Individually, junior Ylva Forslund and sophomore Shelby Brauckmuller led the Herd in round one. They both shot 2-over 74 and are tied for sixth in the overall leaderboards.
“We are still in this and we have two more days to improve,” head coach Brooke Burkhammer said.
