Joiner, Lady Tops lead EKU Colonel Classic entering final round

Mary Joiner

Mary Joiner and Western Kentucky women's golf are both back in the championship chase.

Joiner took control in Friday’s opening round with a 2-under 70 at the par-72, 5,815-yard University Club at Arlington in Richmond.

The Franklin native had a steady day with three birdies, one bogey and 14 pars. She’s two strokes ahead of Tennessee Tech’s Hollee Sadler and Oakland’s Alexis Jones.

Joiner will vie for her fourth career individual title and second this season in Saturday’s final round. Her three titles in her first two college seasons are already a program record.
