ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Texas Tech opened NCAA Regional play in strong position Monday, shooting 4-over 288 to sit sixth after the opening round of the NCAA Ann Arbor Regional at the University of Michigan Golf Course.
The Red Raiders are one shot outside the top five — the cutoff to advance to the NCAA Championship Finals in Carlsbad, Calif. — entering Tuesday's second round. No. 14 UCF currently holds fifth place at 3-over 287, while Ohio State and Northwestern share the team lead at 5-under 279.
Maja Ambroziak paced Texas Tech with a 2-under 69, tying for sixth individually in the 66-player field. The junior rebounded from a difficult finish at the Big 12 Championship to record her first under-par round since the
Huntington Bank Collegiate on April 6 and her fourth round shot in the 60s this season. Ambroziak sits three shots off co-leaders Ashley Yun of USC and Elise Lee of USC, who each opened with 5-under 66s.
Lauren Zaretsky also turned in a strong opening round, carding an even-par 71 to sit tied for 15th. Denisa Vodickova and Klara Hurtova are both tied for 33rd after rounds of 3-over 74, while Cameron Freund is tied for 57th at 7-over 78.
Texas Tech will resume play on Tuesday at 7 a.m. CT (8 a.m. local time in Michigan) with the second of three rounds at the regional. The final round is scheduled for Wednesday.
