Sometimes those pesky putts just won’t drop, and that pretty much summed up the opening two rounds Monday for the New Mexico women’s golf team in its Branch Law Firm/Dick McGuire Open.
Still, Lobos coach Jill Trujillo found some reason for optimism after UNM shot a 4-over-par 580 at the Championship Course.
“We were solid in so many different areas (Monday),” she said. “The only thing we were lacking was our putting. Everybody had too many three-putts. That’s the difference between us being in fifth and being atop the leader board.”
New Mexico sits 14 strokes behind frontrunner Ohio State going into Tuesday’s final round.
