From Shauna Taylor
We got off to a solid start today. I’m really proud of Brooke (Matthews). She was so solid in her first round as a Razorback. She has grown so much and it was great to finally watch her compete. We didn’t make a lot of putts today but maintained a steady pace until the end. We are in a great position with a great game plan heading into the last two rounds.
