IU women's golf sits in second place after tournament day one

Sports Filler

After the first day of the Ptarmigan Ram Classic on Sunday, IU women’s golf sits in second place overall in its first tournament of the season. 

The Hoosiers had two golfers tied for second place as both junior Erin Harper and sophomore Emma Fisher shot a three-under-par 69. Each had five birdies and two bogeys in the first round of competition. 

Harper posted two top-five finishes last season and led Indiana at the Big Ten Championships, where she finished tied for 25th. She finished tied for 56th at this tournament last season, a season in which she played in the Hoosier lineup for only two tournaments. She set a new career low Sunday at three under as she birdied the fourth, fifth and seventh holes. 

Freshman Angela Aung was IU’s third-best finisher, shooting a 74 in her debut. Freshman Mary Parsons and sophomore Elisa Pierre each shot a 75. 

IU sits just two strokes behind leader UC Irvine heading into the next round of competition. Day two will begin 10 a.m Monday.
