Her highlight hole was a birdie on the challenging par five #11. Natalie Smith carded a 97 with an up-and-down round that included four pars. Chloe Puhl also carded a 97, a new collegiate-best round for her. She closed out the final five holes at four over par to break 100 in a big way. Lauren David shot 100.
