AUBURN, Ala. – Day one of the NCAA Auburn Regional saw its fair share of high scores, but Blue Raider senior Hanley Long battled her way through Saugahatchee Country Club to a solid 2-over par 74 to sit in the Top 20 through 18 holes.
"Her ball striking was really good today, and minus a few tough putts we hoped would fall she had a great day," Adams added. "She has left herself in position to have a great shot at moving up with some more good numbers the next two days."
After getting through some nerves early in the day with a lingering back injury coming in, Long went 1-under par through her final 14 holes to shoot up a leaderboard that includes some of the nation's best college golfers.
