Women's Golf Wraps Up Day 2 of Big Ten Championships


PITTSBURGH – Rutgers women’s golf completed the second round of competition at the Big Ten Championships on Saturday afternoon at Fox Chapel Golf Club in Pittsburgh.

The Scarlet Knights remain in 14th place with a second round score of 307  a four-stroke improvement over their 311 in round one.  

Leigha Devine continues to pace RU on the individual leaderboard, as she fired a 3-over 74 to remain in a tie for 10th place with one round remaining. 

“The course certainly played tougher today with the weather conditions,” head coach Kari Williams said. “We had periods of rain and some stronger winds. Leigha did well again managing her game around the course and found a few scoring opportunities out there. We have the chance to come back out tomorrow and improve on our performance to end the season on a high note.”
