The first round of the NCAA Women's Golf Regional pretty much followed form yesterday in Albuquerque, NM. The 9th seeded Oklahoma Sooners ended the day in 9th place out of the 12 teams. Only TCU and Arizona played 'away from' their seedings. TCU improved to finish in a tie for 4th while Zona fell back to 6th.

The Sooners shot an +11 on the day and set in 9th place after round one. The Oregon Ducks, the top seed in the regional, shot a 4-under round to lead the way. Texas (#3 seed) shot 1-under for 2nd with Florida (#2 seed) finishing at Even par.

TCU and Georgia are tied for 4th at 4-over par. Arizona, Louisville and North Texas are 6, 7, 8 respectively at +5, +6, +8 after the first round. OU follows at +11 with New Mexico State and Sam Houston tied for 10th at 14-over par. Northern Arizona is in 12th with a 21-over par score.

Here are the scores for the Sooner Golfers.

9th --- Oklahoma (Position) 299 ---- 299
T8 Hannah Screen (1) 71 71
T34 Libby Winans (5) 75 75
T39 Mikhaela Fortuna (2) 76 76
T47 Maria Fernanda Martinez (4) 77 77
T57 Meagan Winans (3) 79 79

The top 4 teams from the Albuquerque Regional advance to the NCA Finals. OU needs to make up 7 shots to do that based upon the first round on Monday.

Senior OU Golfer, Hannah Screen's 1-under round on Monday places her in a tie for 8th in the individual scores.

Here is the staff writers article about the round.

This post is a little late.

After the 2nd round in Albuquerque, the Sooners were still in 9th place with a score of 299 - 303 for a total of 692. OU lost distance between themselves and 4th spot to be able to qualify for the NCAA Finals. The Sooners need to make up +/- 20 shots to qualify for the Finals.

Hannah Screen is still in the individual hunt for a spot in the NCAA Finals as she shot a 74 in her second round to go with her 71 on the first day to be at +1 for the tourney. She may need to shoot 3 or 4 under for the final round to qualify for the Finals.

Here were the team standings after two rounds.

1 2 Team Scores
1 1 Oregon 284 284 568 -8
T4 2 Georgia 292 284 576 E

The Oklahoma Sooners Women's Golf Team finished Day 3 at the Albuquerque Regional in 9th place, the same as their seeding. The Sooners did shoot their best round on Day 3 with a +5 round of 293. That pushed their tourney total to 895 after an +11 round on Monday and a +15 round on Tuesday.

OU's #1 player, Hannah Screen shot another good round of even par to go with her 1-under round on Monday and her 2-over round on Tuesday. That left her at +1 for the regional and one shot out of a playoff for an individual spot to advance to the NCAA Finals. Screen has averaged less than 72 strokes a round her last three seasons at OU. that is strong golf by her.

Here is the OU players scores for the Regionals

Oklahoma 299 303 293 = 895
T8 Hannah Screen (1) 71 74 72 = 217
T37 Libby Winans (5) 75 77 72 = 224
T42 Mikhaela Fortuna (2) 76 75 74 = 225
T54 Maria Fernanda Martinez (4) 77 78 75 = 230
T56 Meagan Winans (3) 79 77 76 = 232

I think that the entire time is eligible to return next season.

Congrats to the Sooner Women on their season. I think with one more birdie, Screen's season could still be continuing. It is too bad it is not.
