·       The Bulldogs posted an overall score of 579 over 36 holes to finish the opening day of competition 3-over par. El Chaib and Song finished their days in second and 10th, respectively, with 36-hole scores of 136 (-8) and 141 (-3). Heading into the final 18 holes, Georgia is six strokes behind second place UNLV while El Chaib is six strokes off the individual lead.

Song matched El Chaib's team-best 2-under 70 in the first round, birdying three times while adding just one bogey to hold a share of 7th place through 18 holes. In the second round, Song added another three birdies and two bogeys to ultimately finish the day in 10th with 18 holes left to play.
·       Smith counted a 73 in the first round, highlighted by birdies on holes 4 and 13, before posting a 75 in the second round. The sophomore finished the day 4-over par and is tied for 22nd place.
·       Sophomore Celine Brovold Sanne posted two rounds of 77 to finish the day +10 and in 45th place. She carded three-straight birdies on holes 16-18 before sinking another on hole 2 as part of her first-round effort.
