Western Kentucky freshman Caroline Cavin looked the part of a veteran Friday, leading the Lady Topper golf team on the first day of Kentucky’s Bettie Lou Evans Invitational in Lexington.
Cavin – competing as an individual in the second tournament of her college career – fired a 1-under 71 to open play at the University Club of Kentucky’s Big Blue Course (par 72, 6,221 yards). She’s tied for seventh with two rounds to go.
The Knoxville, Tenn., native is just two strokes behind three golfers tied for the individual lead at 3 under. Cavin’s previous best round from WKU’s season-opening tournament was a 76.
