When the University of Kansas women’s golf team concluded the first round of play at the University of Nebraska’s Chip-N-Club Invitational on Monday, it was tied for fifth.

Despite improving scores during the following 36 holes, the team was unable to move up the leader board, and finished in sole possession of fifth after all 54 holes of play. Kansas’ team score of 921 strokes put the team 24 strokes behind tournament champions Texas State. Solid performances by sophomore Emily Powers and senior Annie Giangrosso powered Kansas to a top five finish despite being unable to gain ground in the final two rounds.

Powers finished with an 11-over-par 224, tying her for 11th overall, while Giangrosso finished with a 14-over-par 227 to tie for 13th. The remaining three golfers included in the team’s score were sophomore Meghan Gockel and freshmen Megna Bal and Sydney Wilson. Each struggled to find consistency, but played well enough to maintain Kansas’ foothold on fifth place.

Competing individually, freshman Grace Thiry overcame a rough first 18 holes to finish tied for 19th. She shot consecutive three-over-par rounds of 74 in her last 36 holes to secure a top 20 finish.

Next week Kansas will attempt to improve on their fifth place finish as the team travels to Denver, Colo., to compete in the Ron Moore Intercollegiate on Sept. 17 and 18.
