NAPA, Calif. - Consistency was key for the Ducks in Monday's second round of the Silverado Showdown at the Silverado Resort and Spa.
On a day when some teams struggled compared to their opening round scores, the Ducks improved by a stroke and climbed from eighth to fifth in the team standings. After shooting a 9-over 297 as a team on Sunday, the Ducks tallied an 8-over 296 on Monday.
The No. 24 ranked Ducks sit behind No. 16 ranked Northwestern in first, No. 1 ranked USC in second, No. 4 ranked Stanford in third and No. 32 San Jose State in fifth.
Kathleen Scavo had a big second round, moving up 27 spots on the individual leaderboard to sixth. After shooting a 3-over 75 on Sunday, Scavo carded a 2-under 70 in her second round. The senior had just one bogey in the round to go with three birdies, including back-to-back birdies at No. 3 and No. 4. The 2-under was tied for the third best round of the day.
Fellow senior Petra Salko fell back a bit in the standings, going from third to 16th after shooing a 5-over 77 in her second round. She was 1-over on the front nine, but started the back nine with two bogeys and a double bogey over four holes. After rolling in a birdie on No. 15, Salko bogeyed No. 16.
Amy Matsuoka and Alexis Phadungmartvorakul didn't move much up or down on the leaderboard but freshman Tze-Han Lin had a bounceback round. After shooting an 8-over 80 to open the tournament, Lin shot even par 72 on Monday morning and jumped up 42 spots in the standings to 37th.
Tomorrow the Ducks will play a third and final round.
