DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Alyssa Mercado fired her second consecutive quality round to lead Troy in Monday's second round of the Sun Belt Conference Women's Golf Championship at the LPGA International Hills Course. Mercado sits alone in fourth place individually, while Troy slipped four spots into eighth place as a team.
Mercado carded two birdies on the day and limited her damage to just three bogeys for a 1-over 73. The Trojan freshman picked up birdies on two of the course's four par-3 offerings and played the back nine at 1-under par.
Troy shot 20-over as a team after opening with a 10-over 298 in Sunday's first round; the Trojans are 13 shots off the pace of Georgia Southern entering Tuesday's final round.
