ARGYLE, Texas - The North Texas women's golf team began their final tournament before the Conference USA tournament as it opened play at its host tournament, The Bruzzy, on Sunday at Lantana Golf Club.
The 38th-ranked Mean Green are in second place after 36 holes on Sunday, as they sit at 5-under par heading into Monday's final round. No. 7 Oklahoma State is in first place at 19-under.
UNT is four shots clear of third-place and 33rd-ranked Oklahoma after senior Lauren Cox had another record-setting day. The most decorated player in program history matched her career-low round, which was previously set two years ago on the same course in the same tournament when she shot an opening-round 66, which also tied the tournament record. Cox is at 7-under par after her 66-71 for a 36-hole score of 137, which tied her own program record for low-36 score back in the 2018-19 season.
"Today was a solid day," UNT head coach Michael Akers said. "Basically, we want to break par every round, and we did that in both rounds today. Lauren really likes Lantana, and it shows in her scores."
The Mean Green also got a 1-under-par day from junior Audrey Tan, who is tied for 10th, and an even-par day from junior Katie Finley, who is tied for 15th. Sophomore Marija Jucmane, who is competing as an individual, is tied for sixth at 2-under par.
The Mean Green will be paired with Oklahoma State and Oklahoma on Monday and will tee off from Holes 1-3.Â
"I am very happy with how our players fought and stayed composed," Akers said. "The wind blew opposite of normal and the team adjusted well. Tomorrow, we will play one shot at a time and see where we end up."
Spectators are allowed at The Bruzzy, and for those who can't make it to the course, fans can follow the tournament on Golfstat, and on social media on Twitter and Facebook.
