Holmslykke Wanted More From NCAA Championship Round Two

After Saturday rain forced the NCAA Women's Golf Championship to reduce its competition from 72 to 54 holes, Sunday became moving day and Murray State's Linette Holmslykke finished the day wanting more out of her round at Blessings Golf Club in Fayetteville, Arkansas.

Playing an even-par front nine (two birdies and two bogeys), Holmslykke had some good looks at birdie on the final nine holes, but couldn't get one to fall as she played the inward nine to 3-over-par 39. Holmslykke's 76 in round two was a shot better than her 77 in the opening round, but she dropped 15 spots to 42^nd place.

"I started slow on the front nine and just couldn't make it and I wanted more," said the senior from Vejle, Denmark. "It just wasn't my day today," Holmslykke 41864

said.

Her scoring line through 36 holes 77-76=153 was good for a 10-way tie for 42^nd place along with competitors that included Virginia Carta of Duke, Danielle DuToit of Purdue and Amanda Doherty of Florida State.

Among the 12 individual qualifiers for the NCAAs, Holmslykke is in fourth place with the final 18 holes to play. She is five shots from 15^th place. If Holmslykke managed to crack the top-15, she would earn All-America honors at the championship.

Duke turned the team portion of the event on its ear by going from fifth place to first with an amazing second round score of 11-under-par 281. Going into the final round, Duke leads Southern California by nine shots and third place Texas by 10 shots. The top-8 teams advance to the match play part of the event.

Blessings GC is playing to a par of 73 and a length of 6,473 yards.

Holmslykke's final round as a Murray State Racer begins Monday at 12:50 p.m., where she will have Angelica Maresco of Alabama and Allyson Geer-Park of Michigan State as playing partners.
