Texas will take four-shot lead into final round of Allstate Sugar Bowl Intercollegiate


   Four of the top eight teams in Division I women’s golf will fight it out for the team title in the final round of the Allstate Sugar Bowl Intercollegiate.
   Two-time reigning Big 12 champion Texas, No. 3 in the latest Golfstat rankings, carded a solid 3-over 291 at English Turn Golf & Country Club in windy and chilly conditions Monday that made New Orleans anything but the Big Easy to hold onto a four-shot lead, but the Longhorns have some high-profile programs chasing them.
   Texas had opened with a 3-under 285 Sunday, but nobody was able to better par Monday as the Longhorns battled to an even-par 576 total for two rounds over the 6,239-yard, par-72 English Turn layout.
   No. 1 Southern California matched Texas’ 3-over 291 after opening with a 1-over 289 and is alone in second place at 4-over 580. No. 5 Duke, the two-time reigning Atlantic Coast Conference champion, added an 8-over 296 to its opening round of 2-under 286 and is alone in fourth place at 6-over 582, two shots behind the Trojans.
    The best round of the day belonged to Southeastern Conference power Florida, ranked eighth, as the Gators carded a 1-over 289 to move into fourth place at 8-over 284. Florida had opened with a 7-over 295.
   Florida’s SEC rival South Carolina, ranked 16th, is another four shots behind the Gators in fifth place at 12-over 588 after its second straight 6-over 294. No. 47 Houston is another five shots behind the Gamecocks in sixth place at 17-over 593 after adding a 9-over 297 to its opening-round 296.
   Two-time reigning Big Ten champion Michigan State, ranked 27th, No. 63 Oklahoma State and No. 11 Auburn are tied for third, each landing at 25-over 601, eight shots behind the Cougars.
   The Spartans and the Cowgirls continue to be in lockstep as they each added a 304 to an opening-round 297. The Tigers fell back from an opening-round 298 with a 303 in Monday’s second round.
   Former Radnor standout Brynn Walker and No. 34 North Carolina improved by a couple of shots with a 303, but the Tar Heels could only move up one spot in the team standings at 13th in the tough 18-team field at 32-over 608. It’s not exactly the start to the spring campaign that North Carolina envisioned, but the good news is that it is just the beginning. There is a lot of golf to be played between now and the ACC Championship at Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, N.C. in April.
   Texas is young and talented, but the Longhorns are being led in New Orleans by a senior stalwart in Maddie Luitwieler of Katy, Texas. Luitwieler added a 1-over 73 to her opening-round 70 and is tied for fourth in the individual standings at 1-under 143, three shots behind individual leader Ana Belac, a junior at Duke from Slovenia.
   Not that anybody in the Texas lineup is playing poorly. All five Longhorns finished round 2 among the top 18 in the individual standings.
   Freshman Hailee Cooper, one of the most sought-after recruits in the country out of Montgomery, Texas, is tied for 10th at 1-over 145, although her 4-over 76 was a throw-out for the Longhorns Monday. Cooper had been tied for second after her opening-round 69.
   Her teammates picked Cooper up, which is what always happens at the top programs. Agathe Laisne, a sophomore from France and No. 40 in the Women’s World Amateur Ranking (WAGR), had the best round of the day for the Longhorns, a 2-under 70 that was among the best rounds recorded by anybody in the field.
   Laisne, who is starting to show the kind of form that made her the winner of the 2017 European Ladies’ Amateur Championship, had opened with a 76, but her solid second round moved her into the group tied for 14th at 2-over 146.
   Sara Kouskova, a freshman from the Czech Republic, and Kaitlyn Papp, a sophomore home girl from Austin, Texas and No. 24 in the Women’s WAGR, both landed in the group tied for 18th at 3-over 147. Both players added a 2-over 74 to an opening-round 73.
   Belac, No. 41 in the Women’s WAGR, had grabbed the individual lead with an opening round of 4-under 68 and retained that lead with an even-par 72 that left her at 4-under 140.
   A couple of sophomores, Florida’s Addie Baggarly of Jonesborough, Tenn. and Southern California’s Amelia Garvey of New Zealand, are tied for second, two shots behind Belac at 2-under 142. Baggarly carded a second straight 1-under 71 while Garvey backed off from her opening-round 69 with a 1-over 73.
   Sharing fourth place with Texas’ Luitwieler at 1-under 143 was Houston’s Leonie Harm, a senior who became the first German winner of the Ladies’ British Open Amateur Championship at Hillside Golf Club in Southport, England last summer. Harm, No. 15 in the Women’s WAGR, matched the low round of the day with a 3-under 69 after opening with a 74.
   Two South Carolina players, Ana Pelaez, a junior from Spain, and Emily Price, a freshman from England, are in the group of four players tied for sixth at even-par 144. Pelaez matched the low round of the day with a 3-under 69 after opening with a 75 and Price added a 1-over 73 to her opening-round 71.
    Belac’s teammate at Duke, Jaravee Boonchant, a sophomore from Thailand and No. 25 in the Women’s WAGR, is also in the group at even-par 144 after posting a second straight even-par 72.
   Rounding out the foursome tied for sixth was Tulane’s Jennifer Rosenberg, a sophomore from Laurel Hollow, N.Y. Although LSU is the host for the Allstate Sugar Bowl, it’s not much of a road trip for Rosenberg, who also matched the low round of the day with a 3-under 69 after opening with a 75.
    North Carolina was led by Mariana Ocano, a junior from St. Petersburg, Fla. who carded a 1-over 73, which, combined with her opening-round 76, left her in the group tied for 27th at 5-over 149.
   Kelly Whaley, the Tar Heels’ senior leader from Farmington, Conn., and Nicole Lu, a freshman from Taiwan, both landed among the group tied for 52nd at 10-over 154. Whaley added a 78 to her opening-round 76 while Lu carded a second straight 77.
   Walker, who captured PIAA Class AAA titles in 2014 and ’15 while at Radnor, started her day with a triple-bogey 7 on the 10th hole and couldn’t recover. Her 79 was a throw-out for North Carolina and, combined with her opening-round 76, left her in the group tied for 64th at 155.
   Walker was joined at that figure by teammate Ava Bergner, a sophomore from Germany who shaved five shots off her opening-round 80 with a 3-over 75.
