AUGUSTA, Ga. – The Middle Tennessee women's golf team closed out day one of the 3M Augusta Invitational Friday in the middle of the field at ninth place, logging an 18-over 306 in the first 18 holes at Forest Hills Golf Club.

Fellow junior Hanley Long finished the first 18 just two strokes back of Burris, carding a 4-over 76 while freshman Caroline Caudill finished at 5-over 77.
Middle Tennessee is just one stroke up on 10th place East Tennessee State (+19) and five strokes up on Conference USA foe Southern Miss (+23).

"We had a little bit of a slow start again, but got the ship steadied in the middle of the round and then just gave a few back at the end of the day. The greens were pretty slick today, but we have two more days to keep plugging away. It was nice to see some birdies but we are still making some mental errors that we need to correct." – Head Coach Chris Adams
