First Round:

• The Wildcats flirted with the lead just about the entire first round, until a rough patch in their final stretch plagued the lineup with five bogeys, four doubles and just two birdies on hole Nos. 16-18, dropping them back to T4 out of 17 teams.
• Kentucky went just 1-over-par 289 to share fourth place with No. 25 Oklahoma State.
  • It is two shots off the top three and eight shots off team leader Ole Miss.
• Two players rolled in at least five birdies in the first round – C.A. Carter and Isabella Johnson.
  • Carter’s five birdies came uninterrupted on hole Nos. 2, 5, 9, 10 and 11, with no bogeys in between.
• C.A. Carter, a junior from Lexington, Kentucky, is leading the lineup for the first time through seven rounds this season.
  • She is 2-under-par 71 in a tie for sixth place, just two shots behind individual leader Virginia Tech’s Valentine Delon.
  • It is her fifth round of par-or-better – and her fourth straight – this season, second-most on the team.
• Cathryn Brown, a senior from Eddyville, Kentucky, who always finds herself at the top of the leaderboard, went 1-under-par 71 for a share of eighth place.
  • She has went par-or-better every single round this season (7).
