CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — On college golf's biggest stage, a freshman paced the Spiders Monday during the first round of the NCAA Women's Golf Regionals at Birdwood Golf Course. Caroline Thompson, competing in the final event of her freshman season, shot a 4-over 75, three shots clear of any other Spider. She ended the day tied for 41st on the individual leaderboard.
Thompson opened her round with a bogey on the par-5 10th hole but answered with a birdie on the par-3 11th. She proceeded to par 14 of her final 16 holes, including her final six of the day.
Sophomore Maya Beasley carded a 7-over 78 and is tied for 51st place. She's one shot in front of junior Hannah Lydic (8-over 79), who's tied for 57th.
