Round two was suspended due to darkness as the Gators trail two strokes from the lead.
BOCA RATON, Fla. – The Florida women’s golf team currently sits 18-under in a tie for second after the second round of the FAU Paradise Invitational was suspended due to darkness on Monday.
The spring opener was originally delayed an hour and half due to fog in the morning.
The Gators started the spring strong with a round one combined score of 278 (-10) for the lowest round of the season as the previous (279) was in the opening round of The Ally in the fall. Florida last recorded the mark at the 2021 Gators Invitational as it was only four strokes off the program record (274) set at the Stanford Collegiate in 2019.
Annabell Fuller led the lineup with a bogey free 66 (-6) in round one, tying her collegiate best she set at last year’s Gators Invitational. She sits in second at 10-under and is 4-under through 16 with 11 birdies and only one bogey.
Four other Gators recorded low rounds in the first round of the spring in Jenny Kim (-4), Clara Manzlini (-2), Marina Escobar (-1) and Maisie Filler (-1). Kim’s round set a new career-best as her previous was a 70 at the Pat Bradley Invite in 2019.
After round one Florida was five strokes from the lead and began to cut into the Mississippi State advantage in the second round before it was stopped. Round two will resume tomorrow at 7:30 a.m. ET followed by the final round.
