Lobos get off to hot start at NCAAs
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — The New Mexico women’s golf team had a strong start to the 2023 NCAA Championship on Friday at Grayhawk Golf Club. The No. 39 Lobos shot 1-under during the opening round, the first time in program history that UNM shot under par for a round at the NCAA finals, and tied for fifth in the 30-team field.
“It was incredible to have New Mexico’s first under-par round at a NCAA Championship,” said head coach Jill Trujillo. “They played really steady and made a ton of birdies on the front nine. … Our aim after the first round is to be in position, and we certainly did that, but there is a lot of golf left to go.”
