FAYETTEVILLE -- No. 2 Texas stormed the Blessings Golf Club on a rough scoring day that featured harsh weather to lay a strong claim to the top seed heading into match play at the NCAA women's golf championships.
The Longhorns were shooting a 6-under round when the horn blew about 8:15 p.m., signaling the golfers on the course to finish their hole and head to the clubhouse. Texas surged well past second-round leader and No. 3 Duke to position itself for the top seed.
The Longhorns had three players -- Hailee Cooper, Emilee Hoffman and Kaitlyn Papp -- in the clubhouse under par for the day, and Agathe Laisne at even par with two holes remaining when play was stopped.
