Highlanders Maintain Top-10 Spot After Round Two of Bobby Nichols Intercollegiate

3/13/2023 6:04:00 PM | Women's Golf

SEVIERVILLE, Tenn. – It was another cold day the Sevierville Golf Club Highlanders Course as the Radford women's golf team maintained their top-10 standing after two rounds of the Bobby Nichols Intercollegiate on Monday.

The Highlanders shot a combined 321 this time out, moving into ninth place out of 15 teams in the field. Now through 36 holes, Radford owns the third-best score of any teams on Par 3's with a +19.

Senior Natalie Welsh, who is shooting even on those Par 3's, is tied for 11^th at 8-over par. She added another birdie to her scorecard, notching it on the 14^th hole, and shot for par on 10 other holes on the day.

Now tied for 22^nd, Hannah Lindemann highlighted her day with a birdie on the 11^th hole.

Despite those solid showings, Niki Batac has arguably had the most impressive performance thus far. The redshirt junior only added two strokes to her first-round score and is now tied for 47^th at 18-over par. She too sunk a birdie in the second round, doing it on the Par 3 13^th hole.

Jimenna Ramirez was one of only four golfers in the field to stick in the exact same spot on the individual leaderboard, claiming T-51^st after both the first and second rounds. She followed up a first-round 80 with a second-round 82 and is in good position to move up on the final day.

Jayde Dudley and Shea Smith had tough days on the course with an 88 and 89, respectively. They'll head into Tuesday's last 18 holes tied for 63^rd and tied for 78^th.
