WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - The Tulsa Golden Hurricane turned in the best round of the day Friday, a three-over-par 291, and moved into first place in the NCAA Central Regional being held at Purdue University's Birck Boilermaker Golf Complex.
Led by the regional's individual leader, Stacy Prammanasudh, a junior from Enid, Okla., with a two-day, two-under-par total of 142, the Golden Hurricane blew into a four-stroke lead over first-day leader Purdue, 591-595. The Boilermakers settled for a 12-over 300 on Friday, five strokes off their first-day total on the par 71, 6,040-yard Pete Dye-designed Kampen Course.
Moving into third place heading into the final 18 holes was Oklahoma State (599), followed by New Mexico State (602), Texas (608), Kent State (608), Louisiana State (610), Oklahoma (620), Baylor (602) and California (621), rounding out the top 10. The 21-team, 54-hole tournament concludes Saturday.
"I'm thrilled my team played so well today," said first-year head coach Melissa McNamara of Tulsa. "We really haven't talked much about the importance of this, but my team knows you can't throw away shots at a regional qualifier and we certainly didn't do that today. My No. 1 and 2 players have played well most of the year. The No. 3, 4 and 5's don't seem to start out well the first day, but they always bounce back. I've seen it happen all year."
Prammanasudh carded a 72 Friday after a 71 Thursday to hold a one-stroke lead over Heather Zielinski of Purdue, who fired a 71 Friday after a 72 Thursday for a two-day total of 143. Purdue's Kari Damron (71-74=145) and Tulsa's Suzie Fisher (72-73=145) are part of a four-way tie for third place with California's Vikki Laing (72-73=145) and Oklahoma State's Linda Wessberg (71-74=145).
Purdue's other players are Carolina Laurens (74-79=153), Andrea Makauskas (79-76=155) and Beth Hermes (78-83=161).
