GAINESVILLE, Fla. - University of Houston junior Courtney Ferguson posted a score of 73 during Friday's opening round at the SunTrust Gator Invitational to stand in a tie for 16th place.
Competing on the 6,002-yard, par-70 Mark Bostick Golf Course, Ferguson overcame a slow start to rise through the individual rankings for the rest of the round. Staring on No. 10, the Clear Lake, Texas, native battled through a pair of double bogeys on her front nine, playing her final 11 holes at even par.
Teammate Raegan Bremer stood in a tie for 67th after posting an 81.
Florida's Karolina Vickova was the only player to shoot under par Friday and led with a 69. Teammate Camilla Hedberg, Elizabeth Brightwell (Virginia) and Ellen Ceresko (Penn State) were tied for second at 70, while Marijosse Navarro (Texas A&M) and Andrea Vilarasau (Arizona) were tied for fifth at 71.
With only two student-athletes competing as individuals, Houston was not eligible for the team championship. Now in its first year of existence, Houston Women's Golf will field a full team for the 2014-15 season.
No. 30 Ohio State and No. 42 Florida State stood atop the team leaderboard at 292. No. 12 Arizona, No. 29 Virginia and Penn State were tied for third at 294, while, No 31 Miami (295), No. 4 Oklahoma (295), No. 37 Kent State (296), Old Dominion (300) and No. 32 Texas A&M (301) rounded out the top-10 leaders.
