Kim birdied five, six, seven and ten in the first round, and finished the loop with an eagle on the Par-5 15th and a birdie on 17 to card a 66 and tie the Westmoreland women's course record. The reigning Big Ten Player of the Year then birdied three of her final eight holes in the afternoon to wrap up Day 1 tied for the tournament lead at 7-under with Georgia's Bailey Tardey.
Freshman Stephanie Lau was the low scorer for the 'Cats in the afternoon, carding birdies on four of the final five holes of the front-nine, and two of the last three holes on the back, to finish with a 5-under 67. She is just two strokes off the lead, tied for third-place, heading into Tuesday's final round.
Northwestern's team lineup in the 5-count-4 format (Kim, Lau, Kacie Komoto, Suchaya Tangkamolprasert and Sarah Cho) fired a 4-under 284 in the morning and followed it up with a blistering 8-under 280 in the afternoon. The Wildcats are in second-place, two shots behind tournament leader Georgia and three shots clear of third-place Southern California.
The 'Cats are aiming to maintain the momentum of a historic performance in their last competition. Northwestern (849) carded the lowest 54-hole score in program history two weeks ago at the 15th Annual Mason Rudolph Championship in Nashville.
Wildcats senior Kaitlin Park, junior Minjia Luo and freshmen MacKenzie Hawkes, Janet Mao and Monica Matsubara are competing in the tournament as individuals. Mao and Matsubara registered matching 73-70 rounds on Day 1 of their first college competitions to tie for 18th place after 36 holes.
Third round competition till tee off at 7:30 a.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 6. Admission is FREE for all spectators.
