[su_spacer size=”40″] Carbajo Ré teed off from No. 10 and played the back side of N.C. State’s Lonnie Poole Golf Course first. She immediately bogeyed her first hole but birdied No. 11 to regain that stroke. Carbajo Ré slipped to 3-over on the day with bogeys at No. 15, No. 17 and No. 3 but birdied No. 8 and finished at 2-over.
[su_spacer size=”40″] “Seventy-four was probably as high as her round could have been today,” head coach Josh Brewer said. “She hit a lot of solid shots. She didn’t make putts after hitting some great iron shots. Still, it was a good round and a good score under very tough and windy conditions.”
[su_spacer size=”40″] Carbajo Ré was one of six golfers competing as individuals hoping to advance to the NCAA Championships on May 22-27 in Bradenton, Fla. Of the 96 golfers in the field – 90 as member of 18 teams and the six individuals – the top-three golfers who were not members of the six advancing teams will compete for the NCAA individual title in two weeks.
