The Tommies finished their first 18 holes in ninth place with 36 left to play in Madison, Wisconsin.
MADISON, Wis. – Isabelle Lynch's one-over-par performance led the way as the Tommies finished day one of the Badger Invitational in ninth place with a team score of 307 (+19). UTSA currently leads the tournament with a 295 (+7) with 36 holes to go.
Lynch, a senior from Bloomington, Minn., debuted her 2024-25 season at one-over-par (73) in an eight-way tie for seventh place. She birdied two holes on the front nine and three on the back. All three of those back-half birdies came after a rocky start with a double-bogey on 10 and bogey on 12. She finished two-under-par on the course's five par-fives.
Freshman Amelia Morton tied her teammate, and reigning Summit League Newcomer of the Year, Kathryn VanArragon at five-over-par (77) for 32nd place. Morton bogeyed three on the front and back, including holes 10, 11, and 12 but showed tremendous poise with six-straight holes at or below par. She recorded her first collegiate birdie on 16.
VanArragon had a similar round to Morton with six bogeys through the first 12 holes. She too bounced back with five even holes and a birdie on 16 down the stretch.
Emma Davies cracked the top-50 with an 80 (+8) while Nicole Reineke finished tied for 68th place with an 84 (+12). Mallory Belka carded a +11 while competing as an individual.
Up Next
The Tommies play the second round of the Badger Invitational tomorrow, September 9th and wrap up their first tournament of the season on Tuesday, September 10th.
