HOLLISTER, Mo. – On a cold, cloudy day with winds exceeding 20 miles per hour, Middle Tennessee women's golf finished the first round of the Ozarks National Invitational in a tie for eighth place at 328 (+40). With the elements producing higher-than-usual scores, Ella Manley led the Blue Raiders at 79 (+7) Tuesday, heading into the third round tied for 12th individually.
After the originally scheduled first round was rained out Monday, the 13-team field was only able to complete one round before inclement weather struck again. The tournament will be shortened to 36 holes, with the second and final round played Wednesday.
