GAINESVILLE, Fla. – The No. 41 Ohio State University women’s golf team was the biggest mover on Day Two of the SunTrust Gator Invitational, jumping up five slots to move into third place in the team standings. The Buckeye ascension came via a tournament-best 295, the top round of the day and tied with Arizona’s 295 opening score for lowest thus far in the event.
Ohio State will be paired with No. 9 Arizona and No. 32 Florida for the final round on Sunday. The trio is set to tee off at 9:15 a.m. ET off Hole #1.
Jan Chanpalangsri sits in sixth place individually and trails the leader (Krstyal Quihuis; Arizona) by just four shots entering the final 18 holes. The senior co-captain followed up an opening round 75 with a 70 the second time around. Katja Pogacar has been a top-10 performer through a pair of rounds as well, carding scores of 78-71 (+9) to seize a share of ninth place.
Claudia Lim, also a senior co-captain, contributed her second score to the team tally on Saturday. She has registered tallies of 77-76 (+13) and is tied for 23rd place. Jessica Porvasnik matched Lim’s second day 76 and helped lift the Buckeyes back into contention. The reigning Big Ten Player of the Year is 16-over for the weekend, good for a piece of 40th place.
Rio Watanabe and Lina Aguillon are also donning the Scarlet & Gray, tied for 61st and 68th place, respectively.
