RIO VERDE, Ariz. (EMUEagles.com) – Junior Penelope Guilleux (Saint Maur Des Fosse, France-Arsonval) shot a one-over 73 in the opening round of the 2018 Rio Verde Invitational Friday, Feb. 23, to help the Eastern Michigan University women's golf team sit in fourth place.
Guilleux used four birdies as the catalyst for her strong round and is currently tied for second among 97 individual golfers. She trails only the University of Akron's Jacinta Pikunas by two strokes entering Saturday's second round.
Collectively, EMU shot a 20-over-par, 308, in the first round and trail the team leaders, Arkansas-Little Rock by just two strokes. Akron is in second with a 306 while Seton Hall is third with a 308.
Sophomores Katelin Lawson (LaSalle, Ontario-Ridge Community-Tampa) and Maria Connelly (Waterville, Ohio-Anthony Wayne) fired identical rounds of 77 for 24th-place. Freshman Preaw Sripatrprasite (Bangkok, Thailand-Siam International) added an 81 while sophomore Julia Stevenson (Milford, Mich.-Milford) finished with an 82.
In her return from injury, junior Kritsuda Apiwatthanadol (Bangkok, Thailand-Somtawin Witead Suska Huaymongkhon School) managed a 75 as an individual to sit in a tie for ninth. Senior Thelma Beck (Baden, France-Lycee Sainte Anne) was scheduled to be in the lineup, but had to withdraw from competition due to an injury.
