TACOMA, Wash. – Junior Shuyi Cao leads the way for CBU after the opening day of the Pat Lesser Harbottle Invitational, placing ninth overall at even par through two rounds after carding a 2-under 70 in the second round.
After opening the tournament with a 2-over 74, Cao responded with one of the stronger rounds of the day, moving up the leaderboard with her 2-under performance to put herself inside the top 10 heading into the final round.
Following a delayed start due to fog, the Lancers battled through 36 holes in Tacoma and finished the day in seventh place out of 17 teams with a combined score of 590.
Senior Burberry Zhang follows Cao on the individual leaderboard, sitting tied for 22nd at 3-over. Team captain and senior Pusanisa Ekkantrong is tied for 32nd at 5-over after opening the tournament with a 1-under 71 before finishing the second round at 6-over.
Junior Lisa Shimmon is tied for 45th at 6-over, while sophomore Kornchanok Triyakul is tied for 67th at 10-over in her first tournament of the season.
CBU will close out the tournament Tuesday with an 8 a.m. shotgun start. The Lancers will look to move up the team leaderboard, while Cao will aim to carry her momentum from Round 2 into the final round.
