UCA in sixth at ASUN Championships
The University of Central Arkansas finds itself in the middle of the pack after Sunday's opening round the ASUN Championships at Valdosta, Ga., thanks in large part to all-conference performer Camila Moreno's even-72 round.
Moreno finished in a tie for eighth place, and UCA fired a 300 total to land in sixth place after 18 holes at the Kinderlou Forest Golf Club.
Moreno birdied holes 5, 10 and 11, but bogeys on 6, 12 and 14 kept her just out of the lead. Elin Kumlin landed in 21st after her first round, recovering from bogeys on three of the first five holes to maintain par the rest of the way. Also tied at 21st was Madison Holmes.
Pear Rittawee ended her first round at a 6-over 78, rounding out the back nine with a pair of birdies. Tania Nunez shot an 83 to land in 47th.
North Florida claimed the top spot after the first day, shooting 5 under as a team.
Round two is set for today.
