2 – Bebelaar was one of two players to record an eagle through the first two rounds.
224 - Bebelaar tied her season-low 54-hole score of 224.
Coach's Comments: Chris Adams
"Had a better day today for the most part and put up three times more birdies than in either of the other days. Molly had a rough finish but still finished top 12, and it was great to get tourney low rounds out of Nicole and Lauren today. Ella put up another solid round today. We have to polish up some first tourney mistakes and get ready for our next event in Las Vegas."
