BATON ROUGE, La. — The No. 10-ranked Georgia women's golf team carded rounds of 308 and 301 in a 36-hole day at the LSU Tiger Golf Classic on Tuesday, putting the Bulldogs in 14th on the leaderboard at the University Club.

"We don't feel like this is who we are, but we accept the score," head coach Josh Brewer said. "The good thing is there's more golf to be played. We will go out and try to win tomorrow. We believe we can do that, and we will fight from the first swing until we putt out on the final hole. We'll look to end here on a great note and get ready for SECs next week."

Georgia closed the day well, with four golfers – Jenny Bae, Caroline Craig, Jo Hua Hung and Candice Mahé – all recording a birdie in their final three holes.

In the opening round, Georgia's counting scores were a pair of 75s from Craig and Hung and a pair of 79s by Bae and Mahé.

The Bulldogs trimmed seven strokes off that tally in the afternoon, combining an even-par 72 from by Hung, a 75 by Mahé, a 76 by Craig and a 78 by Bae. Hung recorded her fifth par-or-better loop of the season and her fourth in 14 rounds during the spring portion of the campaign.

Overall, Hung is tied for 23rd at 147, Craig is tied for 43rd at 151, Mahé is tied for 60th at 154, Bae is 67th at 157 and Céleste Dao is 75th at 168.

Tournament host LSU, LSU's Carla Tejedo and Mississippi State's Hannah Levi are atop the team and individual leaderboards, respectively. The No. 4-ranked Tigers shot 9-under to grab a nine-shot edge over the field. Mulet and Levi both posted 4-under tallies on Tuesday, a stroke better than LSU's Ingrid Lindblad.

The Bulldogs will be paired with No. 5 Florida State and individual competitors for Wednesday's final round, teeing off with a shotgun start at 9:30 a.m. ET from holes Nos 14-18. Live scoring is available at golfstat.com.
