JEKYLL ISLAND, Ga. - Piedmont women's golf completed the first round of the Jekyll Island Collegiate Invitational Friday evening at the Great Dunes course at Jekyll Island Golf Club.
The day was highlighted by a pair of eagles, with one coming from
Erin Donovan, who made a two on the par-4 16th, while the other was
Addison Maney's eagle three on the par-5 8th.
Teeing off in the afternoon, the Lions struggled to gain momentum, finishing at 41-over for the day. However, they still remain two strokes ahead of USA South foe Methodist.
Individually, the Lions were led by a pair of 8-over 80's from Donovan and
Keegan Goins. Goins had only one hole with a score worse than bogey while Donovan played a two-hole stretch in 3-under, backing up her lone birdie of the day with her eagle on hole 16.
Maney closed out her round with an eagle and also made a birdie on her way to an 81. Piedmont's final counting score came from fellow freshman
Lila Polakowski's 88 while
Marissa Weaver made her spring debut and carded a non-counting 91.
Up next, the Lions will be out early for the second round, with tee times starting at 8 a.m. off hole 1.
