I'm starting to think we have hired some damned good coaches in recent years.

Mustangs have a share of the 1st round lead at 2 under, tied with LSU. There's a 3 way tie for the individual lead with Mackenzie Lee tied with 2 LSU golfers at 4 under. Host school Texas A$M is only one shot back. It's early but SMU women off to a good start

[Charleston Pony]

Late in round 2 the Mustangs are hanging on to their lead with Mackenzie leading the way at 6 under. Future conference mate (maybe?) Clemson is coming on strong today

Round 2 complete and SMU holding a 2 shot lead over Clemson and 3 shot lead over Texas A$M and LSU. Mackenzie Lee is 5 under and 3 shots off the lead

[EastStang]

We're also 15 strokes above the cut line. So, play decent and move on to the next round.

[Charleston Pony]

Looks like the women's team will be moving on as they are pretty safely in with just a few holes left to play. SMU is one of only 3 teams to have played this course under par. Pretty good showing this week.

Finished tied for 2nd at 4 under with Clemson. Mackenzie Lee finishes T-6th at minus 5 and Ellie Szeryk finishes 8th at minus 3

They came into the final day with a two stroke lead, needing a spot in the top five to advance. The Lauren Mason led Mustangs finished up in second place tied with Clemson and four strokes back of first place LSU.
