RANCHO SANTE FE, Calif. —- Super senior Jo Hua Hung carded a pair of 1-under 71s en route to building a four-shot lead on the individual field at the San Diego State Classic on Monday. Georgia is in second on the team leaderboard at The Farms Golf Club, six strokes off the pace of Iowa State.
In addition to Hung, Caterina Don is among four golfers tied for second at 2-over 144.
"This is a U.S. Open style golf course," head coach Josh Brewer said. "You have to be really, really patient. That fits Jo's game and it fits Caterina's game as well. They accept pars and know how to tough it out. Now they're in a position to try to close it out and win tomorrow and hopefully help our team do the same."
The Bulldogs posted rounds of 304 and 294 on Monday.
After Hung, Georgia's additional counting scores in the first round were a 75 from Don, a 76 from Jenny Bae and an 82 from Céleste Dao. Don and Hung both signed for 1-under 71s in the afternoon, with the Bulldogs also counting Bae's 74 and Candice Mahé's 78.
Individually, Bae is tied for 13th at 150; LoraLie Cowart, who is competing individually, is tied for 4th at 161; Dao is tied for 52nd at 162; and Mahé is 63rd at 168.
Iowa State leads the team field at 592. Following the Bulldogs are Denver at 602, Houston at 603, UNLV at 611, New Mexico at 613, Oregon State at 614, Washington State at 619, BYU at 621, UC Davis at 624, San Diego State at 625 and Colorado at 637.
Georgia will be paired with Iowa State and Denver for Tuesday's final round, which will begin with an 11:00 a.m. ET shotgun start. The Bulldogs will open on holes Nos. 1-4. Live scoring is available via golfstat.com.
"This is back-to-back tournaments where we've been in the final group," Brewer said. "Last week, we were being chased. Now, it's our turn to be the chaser and move up. We're confident and feel like we have the team to make a run and have a chance come the last five or six holes to get our first team win of the year."
