It was all eyes on the Oregon Ducks after their impressive first day at the NCAA Regional Championships on Monday morning in New Mexico. That dominance continued on Tuesday in the second round.
After posting a 4-under 284 on Monday, the Ducks turned around and put up another 4-under 284 on Tuesday, giving them an 8-shot lead in the tournament entering the final day. Oregon is the only team currently listed at under par, with Georgia sitting at even-par, and Texas in third place at 1-over.
“Another really good day for our team,” head coach Derek Radley said, via GoDucks.com. “Our ladies do a great job of playing for each other and always know the others have their back, which allows us to play with a lot of confidence. We’re in a good position, but we can’t get comfortable. We need to come out tomorrow with the same mindset and intensity and put together another really solid day of golf.”
After shooting a career-best 65 (7-under) on Monday, Oregon’s Briana Chacon continued her stellar play on Tuesday, posting a 3-under 69, giving her the individual lead at 10-under for the tournament. Georgia’s Jenny Bae is currently three strokes back at 7-under, and Florida’s Marina Escobar Domingo is in third place a 4-under.
Oregon’s Hsin-Yu (Cynthia) Lu shot a 2-under 70 on Tuesday and is 3-under for the tournament.
A top-four finish will send the Ducks on to the 2022 NCAA Championships, taking place from May 10-13 at Bay Oaks Country Club in Houston, Texas.
