Lertsadwattana leads Bulldogs with a 4-under effort
BELLEAIR, Fla. — The No. 23-ranked Georgia Bulldogs shot 1-over 281 in Saturday's second round of the SEC Women's Golf Championships. The Bulldogs vaulted up seven spots on the team leaderboard at Pelican Golf Club and were led by Napat "Jenny" Lertsadwattana, who shot 4-under 66.
Fast Facts
• Georgia's 1-over 281 equaled the low score of all 14 schools on Saturday and pushed the Bulldogs from 12th to fifth in the team field.
• Napat "Jenny" Lertsadwattana (2-under) and Savannah De Bock (1-under) both are on the top 10 of the individual leaderboard in fifth and eighth places, respectively.

Key Quotes
"It was a really good round of golf," said head coach Josh Brewer. "I'm really happy for them because I've been kind of hard on them. I told them we were ready, but day one we didn't show that. Today, they showed how we've played all spring. At the same time, it's a little different than your normal tournament where you have to go play well tomorrow. You sure as heck don't want the excitement of today to turn into frustration tomorrow. We'll try to ride this momentum and use it tomorrow to our advantage."
"I think I got myself more in position as compared to yesterday," said Napat "Jenny" Lertsadwattana. "I hit my driver on the fairways. I hit irons and wedges on the greens and in position for me to have more opportunities for birdies. I won't do anything different tomorrow since yesterday's routine worked for me. I'll try to focus on what I need and then just to play well. That's it."
Up Next
The Bulldogs will continue with the SEC Championships third round on Sunday, teeing off from No. 10 between 8:20-9:00 a.m. along with Mississippi State. Following Sunday's round, the field will be cut to eight teams for bracketed match play to determine the SEC Champion. Live scoring will be available via www.golfstat.com.
