OWINGS MILLS, Md. ? University of Oregon senior Cathryn Bristow continued her consistent play Thursday in third-round action in the 28th annual NCAA Women's Golf Championships, hosted by Georgetown at the Caves Valley Golf Club.
With all three of her rounds within a stroke of each other, the Huapai, New Zealand native stood tied for 87 overall (78-79-79-236) on the par 72, 6,443-yard course.
On Thursday, she carded her first birdie of the tournament on the par-5 third hole, parred 10 holes (#1, 2, 4, 8, 10-13, 16, 18), bogeyed six holes (#5-7, 9, 14, 17) and also had her first double-bogey of the tourney (#15).
She entered the day tied for 85th overall in the 126-player field, while she stood 60th overall the first day.
As a whole, the entire field continued to battle one of the nation's toughest golf courses as only five players shot under par Thursday, compared with five Wednesday and two Tuesday in the opening rounds.
Bristow suffered bogeys for the third straight day on the par-4 sixth, par-4 ninth, and par-3 15th holes, and also had bogeys for the second time in the tourney on the par-4 fifth, par-4 14th and par-5 17th holes.
