Team Wolf and Team Garcia finished tied at the top of the leaderboard at the conclusion of the 36-hole team event at the Aramco Team Series – Jeddah.
With both teams level on 29-under-par, they will playoff for victory at the conclusion of the third round tomorrow afternoon at Royal Greens Golf & Country Club.
It was Team Wolf – made up of Christine Wolf, Laura Beveridge, Alexandra Swayne and amateur Raghdah Alessawi – who set the early pace and they backed up yesterday’s round of -13 with a round of -16 on Friday morning.
“I’m super proud of the team,” said captain Wolf. “We’re all really excited for tomorrow. The girls played awesome today and made so many birdies and Raghdah contributed quite a bit today, so we had a good thing going.
“We all stayed positive, had good fun and really enjoyed it. We’re looking forward to the playoff tomorrow – it’s a first for all of us in the team event and it’s going to be exciting!”
It was a good day individually for Beveridge and Swayne, who each carded rounds of 67 and 68, respectively on day two.
And LET rookie Swayne, who sits on six-under in T7 heading into the final day, has been pleased with her performance thus far.
“It was surprisingly a lot of fun. I played college golf, and I played high school golf, and it doesn’t compare to what it is out here,” she said.
“Obviously these are my competitors, but I was really happy for them. I really enjoyed my group. We had a great time and I think it made a difference. Our amateur was just out there to have fun and play golf and I’m glad she was able to do that. She was helpful and a pleasure to be around.
“I’m just learning as a professional golfer that you have to not care and not have expectations and it’s taking me my entire rookie year to figure it out, so I’m really pleased with where I’m trending.”
While Team Garcia were one of the later tee times on the second day of the Aramco Team Series – Jeddah and sat in a tie for second place overnight.
The quartet of Nicole Garcia, Casandra Alexander, Tereza Melecka and amateur Sonia Bayahya followed up their first round of -16 with a second of -13 to be tied at the top.
