LAUREL, Mont. – After a long night in their hotel, the Wayland Baptist women's golf team got off to a rough start Monday at the Beartooth Invitational.
According to coach
Matt Garrett, guests at the hotel were evacuated due to a potential fire around midnight.
Results
"After all was cleared and they returned, at 12:40 the alarms went off again," Garrett said. "Needless to say there wasn't much sleep."
On the course, the Pioneers – in their second tournament of the fall – shot a 326 to stand in second place out of three teams. Wayland is 14 shots behind host Rocky Mountain College, ranked the equivalent of 31
st in the NAIA, and 24 strokes in front of Rocky Mountain College's "B" team.
"Making no excuses, we just need to score better and not let little things get away from us," Garrett said.
Individually, WBU's
Mason Garrett shot 6-over 78 and is third in the 19-golfer field. Garrett is just one shot behind second-place Claire Wright and trails leader Valentina Zuleta, both of RMC, by six strokes.
Also for Wayland,
Bianca Cunningham shot 81 and is tied for fifth while
Morgan Rutledge turned in an 82 and is tied for seventh. Rounding out WBU's scores,
Alexza Madrid turned in an 85 while
Ashlynn Watley struggled to a 95. Playing individually,
Trinity Conard shot 88.
"Hopefully, Tuesday will be better with a little more sleep," Coach Garrett said.
