“We faced some challenges today and got off to a rougher start,” said UK head coach Golda Johansson Borst. “However, they all fought and were able to make some birdies coming down the stretch.”

Kentucky currently sits 13 strokes off the lead as Alabama and Florida are in a tie for first at 17-over-par 577 on the weekend. Florida shot a second-round best 3-over-par 283 to jump five spots in to a tie for first. Georgia sits in third after day two at 22-over-par 582. Florida State is in fourth at 23-over-par 583 with South Florida rounding out the top five at 28-over-par 588.

Junior Betsie Johnson led the Wildcats in the second round, shooting a 2-over-par 72. Johnson’s two birdies in the second round leave her in a tie for 11th at 5-over-par 145.

Sophomore Liz Breed finished the second round in a tie for 16th. Breed’s 6-over-par 76 in the second round leaves her at 5-over-par 145 through two rounds. Senior Ashlee Rose showed improvement in the second round, shooting a 5-over-par 75. Rose’s improvement leaves her in a tie for 44th at 12-over-par 152.

“We worked on some things after the round and left the course in a good place,” said coach Borst. “I think the girls are more than ready to finish strong tomorrow.”
