Senior Haley Tygret had a strong second round for Long Beach State, helping the Beach into the team lead with 18 holes to play at the 2019 Big West Championship. LBSU has a three-shot lead over CSUN and a healthy 16 shot advantage over UC Davis in third place.
MOORPARK, Calif. – Senior Haley Tygret shot 2-under on Tuesday in the second round of the 2019 Big West Championship at Moorpark Country Club. Her effort not only moved her into second place by herself, she is also just two shots behind the leader headed into the final day of the event. The Beach have three golfers in the top six on the leaderboard, and LBSU's top four scorers are all in the top 11.
Long Beach State sits alone atop the team leaderboard, three shots clear of CSUN in second place, and an impressive 15 shots clear of top-seeded UC Davis in third. The Beach posted a 294 in its second round, which is one shot better than the team's score from round one and is the lowest score of the competition so far.
Tygret's 2-under round of 70 on Tuesday was buoyed by a strong back nine that featured four birdies. The senior's round got off to a slow start as she bogeyed the first hole, but Tygret made eight straight pars before the turn. After bogeying the 10th, Tygret got right to work. She immediately birdied the 11th hole, then got back to even par with a birdie on 13. Her back-to-back birdies on 16 and 17 closed out a terrific round, leaving her two shots back of the tournament leader, Brianna Steger of CSUN, with 18 holes to play.
Fellow senior Cara Barker sits five shots back of Tygret for the tournament, but is holding strong in third place following a 3-over 75 on Tuesday. Barker made nine pars, six bogeys and three birdies to post her number.
Junior Maria Davis is in a tie for sixth place after shooting a 1-over 73 in round two. Only four golfers (including Steger and Tygret at the top) had better rounds than Davis on Tuesday as she move up seven spots on the leaderboard.
Junior Holland Shourds shot 4-over in the second round and she is one of five players in a tie for 11th place.
The Beach will look to protect its three-shot lead and win back-to-back conference titles on Wednesday. Tee times for Long Beach State begin at 9:10 a.m. with the leaders starting at 9:50 a.m. Live results will be provided via GolfStat.com.
