NCAA Championship Day Three Partial Results

THE RUNDOWN
BRADENTON, Fla. - Baylor women's golf is in fifth place after Sunday's third round of the NCAA Division I Women's Golf Championship at The Concession Golf Club. BU shot 18-over 306 on Sunday, giving the Bears a 54-hole total of 46-over 910.

Six of 24 teams were unable to finish their third rounds on Saturday due to darkness and will resume at 6:30 a.m. CT Sunday. However, Baylor has already guaranteed itself a spot in the top 15 teams that will advance to Monday's fourth and final round of stroke play, which also assures the Bears of the best NCAA Championship finish in program history. The top eight teams after Monday's fourth round will advance to match play to determine the national champion.

Baylor (+46) is second among teams to complete their three rounds, trailing only third-place Arizona (+41). Southern California (+28) leads the tournament, but the Trojans have 17 of 90 holes remaining in their third round. Duke (+31) is in second place with 18 holes remaining in its third round, and Tennessee (+44) is in fourth place with 17 holes remaining in the third round.

Dylan Kim shot even-par 72 on Saturday to move into a tie for eighth place at 5-over 221 through 54 holes. She made an eagle on the 492-yard, par-5 17th hole, giving BU its first eagle of the Championship. Hayley Davis, Laura Lonardi and Giovana Maymon all shot 6-over 78 on Saturday. Lonardi is tied for 30th at 11-over 227, while Davis is tied for 36th at 12-over 228 and Maymon is tied for 67th at 18-over 234. Lauren Whyte is tied for 131st place at 44-over 260.

STAT OF THE DAY

TOP QUOTE #1
"The round went fairly well," head coach Jay Goble said. "I'm glad that we got to play and get done; they've had some rain delays again this afternoon. I think we had the better draw yesterday morning, and the people playing this afternoon had the better draw because I'm standing outside right now and there's not a breath of wind. This morning, it was windy basically the whole day. So when you see the scores from this morning, everybody played a lot worse than they're playing this afternoon. But again, I think it probably all equals out. We had a good morning yesterday and they have a better afternoon today. In the end, it's all going to work itself out.

TOP QUOTE #2
"Dylan (Kim) played amazing, shooting even-par today in the tougher conditions. Honestly, that was like shooting 5-under. She played great, and I think she's put herself in a good position for the individual title, and she's also helped us stay in the mix and stay where we need to be."

WHAT'S NEXT
Baylor will have to wait for the remaining six teams to finish their third rounds before Monday's fourth-round tee times are known. Third rounds will be resumed at 6:30 a.m. CT Monday, followed by any necessary playoffs to determine the top 15 teams and top nine individuals on non-advancing teams. The fourth and final round of stroke play will begin at 9:50 a.m. CT, and the top eight teams after 72 holes of stroke play will advance to Tuesday's match play quarterfinals and semifinals.
