TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Battling through three weather delays as heavy rainfall poured down upon Seminole Legacy Golf Club throughout the day Tuesday, Purdue Women’s Golf moved up one spot during the second round of the NCAA Tallahassee Regional. The Boilermakers (+20) carded a 298 (+10) for the second day in a row, matching their opening round score despite playing in tougher conditions.
The start of the second round was delayed by two hours due to more than an inch of rain peppering the golf course overnight. After the round got underway, another storm rolled through that caused a delay that lasted nearly three hours. As all 12 teams were on the back nine of their second round, more heavy rain led to a 45-minute stoppage before play resumed.
Lauren Timpf led the Boilermakers on Tuesday, shaving three strokes off her opening round score for a 73 (+1). The sophomore eagled the par-5 11th, and she made a team-high 12 pars throughout the day. While the course continued to get drenched as the round went on, Timpf remained steady and carded an even-par 36 on her final nine.
Freshman Luana Valero also improved despite the heavy rain, firing a 2-over 74 that featured a bogey-free 35 (-1) on her opening nine. Ashley Kim added a 75 (+3), which included a tap-in eagle on No. 11 that was almost an albatross. The junior ended her round by dropping a long birdie putt on the par-4 ninth, securing a one-stroke improvement from her first round.
Samantha Brown contributed to the team score with a 76 (+4), her round featuring a pair of birdies on par 5s. As a team, Purdue has played the par 5s 11-under par through two rounds, ranking third in the field.
The Boilermakers find themselves in ninth place, 15 shots off the cutline, with only 18 holes remaining in the tournament. Purdue tees off in the final round Wednesday morning beginning at 8:55 a.m. ET alongside Kentucky (+15) and North Florida (+18) for one last effort at trying to qualify for the 2026 NCAA Championships.
