"We got off to a bit of slow start," Murray stated. "I really like how well we fought back. There are a lot of positives to take from today. There were a lot of birdies (33 total), but we also had a few big holes that can be corrected.
"I saw a lot of promise in the way we competed. We're ready to get back out there tomorrow and play a complete round."
Emily McLennan led the way tying for 13th at 1-over 143. She started with a 72 and closed with a level-par 71. Her 11 birdies led the field. McLennan bounced back from a slow start standing +4 through six before playing -3 the rest of the way.
