SPARTANBURG, S.C. – A strong two rounds from sophomore ace
Emma Landis helped Longwood settle into a tie for ninth place on the first day of the Terrier Intercollegiate hosted by Wofford at the Carolina Country Club.
Â
Landis, who has been Longwood's top finisher in each of the team's first two tournaments this fall, once again asserted herself as the frontrunner with a two-round score of 77-72—149 (+5). Her five-stroke improvement and even 72 in round two gave her the seventh-lowest second round on the day and the fifth-best two-round score by a Big South player at the event.
Â
That performance also helped push Longwood squarely in the middle of the 17-team field and ahead of three other competing Big South teams in Winthrop and UNC Asheville and Presbyterian. One of six Big South teams competing at the two-day event on Wofford's par-72, 6,056-yard home course, the Lancers trail Gardner-Webb by one stroke for seventh place, while USC Upstate sits in third place at 15-over.
