AMARILLO – A team total of 324 has the Angelo State golf team in 10^th place after the opening round of the WTAMU Lady Buff Stampede at the par-72 Tascosa Country Club.

Courtney Rutledge led the Rambelles by shooting a 79 and enters the final round in a tie for 18^th. Abby Bobo (T29) carded an 81 with Maury McCormick (T36) and Ashley Bartholomew (T36) recording rounds of 82 and Krista Czarnecki (T49) an 85.   

“Our ball striking was wonderful, but they are disappointed in their scores,” ASU head coach Kathleen Price said. “We had a super practice round but weren't able to bring that over into today's rounds. They played solid but there were some hiccups that cost us some strokes.”
