Roberts Paces UCO In Texas

TOURNAMENT RESULTS

CARROLLTON, Texas (Feb. 8) – Sydney Roberts fired a one-over-par 73 to help get Central Oklahoma within one stroke of the team lead after second-round play in the Southern Invitational Monday afternoon.

The Bronchos knocked 16 shots off their first-day score in carding a 307 and have a 630 total, just one shot behind tournament host Central Missouri heading into Tuesday's final round at the 5,893-yard, par-72 Indian Creek Golf Club (Creek Course). Harding is third in the 10-team tourney at 640, followed by Rogers State (648) and Oklahoma Baptist (657).

Roberts had one of four scores in the 70s for UCO on the day, with Susana Olivares shooting 76 while Mika Ramos and Emma Shelley both had 79s. Madison O'Dell added an 86 and Emily Miller shot 84 playing as an individual medalist.

"Pin placements and undulating greens are the biggest defense this course has," head coach Michael Bond said. "We came out and did a good job of not wasting shots by makings some good 'bogeys' and we put ourselves in a good position for the last day."

Roberts carded 15 pars in her 73, which was the low round of the day and 15 shots better than her first-round score.

"Sydney started with eight straight pars and had 15 pars on the day with a birdie and two bogeys, which is a phenomenal round," Bond said. "I'm happy for the great bounce-back round she had and look forward to seeing what she can do tomorrow."

Olivares had another steady day, making 12 pars and two birdies in a 76 that has her fifth in the individual standings with a 154 total. Ramos recorded 11 pars and is tied for sixth at 157.
