CORAL GABLES, Fla. - The Purdue women's golf team completed their second day of competition at the sixth-annual Hurricane Invitational on Tuesday, falling to a tie for 11th place after shooting nine-over, 293, and standing 19-over, 587, for the tournament. Senior Anna Appert Lund and junior August Kim had the top individual marks of the day, shooting matching scores of one-over, 70.
The Boilermakers played solid golf over their first nine holes of the morning, starting on the back-nine of The Biltmore Golf Course. Appert Lund opened with eight straight pars and closed the side with a birdie on No. 18, while freshman Covadonga SanJuan drained nine straight pars to start her day. Kim played the front-nine even, sinking both of her birdies for the round, while sophomores Linn Andersson and Marta Martin were both just two-over to start the day.

Andersson had the best round on the first nine holes, shooting even par, while Kim was only one-over.
Andersson finished two-over, 73, for the day and is the top Boilermaker in the individual standings, sitting tied for 20th at two-over, 142, for the tournament. Martin dropped into a tie for 35th place after shooting five-over, 76, Tuesday.
