GADSDEN, Ala.---The Chattanooga Mocs are off and running in the lead at the Chris Banister Invitational after Sunday's opening 18 holes. The Mocs 7-over 295 is 12 shots clear of Illinois State in second on the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail's Spring Lakes Course.
All five starters are in the top 10 led by Makenzie Cooper. Cooper shot even-par 72 to pace a balanced Mocs attack while sitting one shot off the lead in second. Violeta Fernandez-Tagle is third with 73, while Kera Healey is just three strokes off the pace, tied for fourth at 74.
Giulia Foresta and Nieves Martin complete the group's tally. They shot matching 76s and are tied for eight with the top individual from the Chattanooga contingent, Carmen Belmonte. Alexis Daniel posted 77 in her first Mocs action to sit in a tie for 12th. Imogen Rafferty gives the squad eight in the top 25 with an 80.
Illinois State's Ali Schrock is the individual leader with 1-under 71. Seven Mocs are within six strokes of her lead. Behind Chattanooga and the Redbirds, North Alabama and host Jacksonville State are tied for third at 312 just ahead of Northern Colorado in fifth with 314.
"The conditions were tough today, but we played solid," Coach Colette Murray began. "Just let a few shots get away from us at the end of each nine. All-in-all, it's a positive start."
The ladies are back on the tee Monday morning. Rafferty is the first on the course at 9 a.m., Eastern time. Daniel follows at 9:20 with Belmonte right after beginning at 9:30. The team's day starts at 11:10 a.m., as Martin, Foresta, Healey, Fernandez-Tage and Cooper go off in 10-minute increments.
