| MESA, Ariz. - The University of Colorado women's golf team is currently in ninth place after two rounds here Saturday at the Notre Dame Clover Cup. The Buffaloes shot a 33-over par 609 in the first 36 holes of the event. After the first day of action was cancelled due to rain, 16 teams hit the links for two rounds of play at the par 72, 6, 209-yard Longbow Golf Club in Mesa, Ariz. In the first round, the Buffs shot a 13-over par 301, good for seventh place. The Buffs slid to ninth in the second, ending the day with a 20-over par 308. "The team was playing well in the morning round and stayed around 4th place, but we had a rough finish to that round," said CU head coach Anne Kelly. "The team didn't make many putts during the second round and could not get much momentum going. We continue to be on the verge of breaking through, but our young players need to get a bit more comfortable and confident shooting low scores." Four ranked teams round out the top five. No. 5 Oklahoma dominates the event with a 6-under par 570. No. 34 SMU is in second place with a 7-over par 583.
