Wet Weather Slows Play at Empire 8 Women’s Golf Championships
Victor, NY -- Mother Nature was none too kind to the Empire 8 on this day, as inclement weather persisted in the area throughout the day. Unseasonably cool temperatures and steady rain proved to be a significant hindrance to opening round action, as the team's had to contend with a lengthy weather delay, with play ultimately being halted early on a count of darkness.
Team and individual scores were only counted through the front nine holes.
Ithaca College posted a first-round team score of 185 at Ravenwood Golf Course in Victor, NY and holds a seven-stroke lead over St. John Fisher College (192) in the 2015 Empire 8 Women's Golf Championship.
Ithaca’s Indiana Jones posted an opening round 38, and holds a five-stroke lead over Fisher’s Alexa Juda (43). Ithaca sophomore Kyra Denish sits third after an opening-round 44 and Elmira’s Audrey Clark is close behind with a 46.
Sunday’s final round begins at 11am.
