SUNSET, South Carolina – LSU junior golfer Ingrid Lindblad shot the lowest round of a windy day here Saturday and moved up 17 spots to a tie for third after two rounds of the Clemson Invitational at The Reserve at Keowee Lakes.
Lindblad birdied the par 4, 340-yard 18th hole to cap a 2-under par round of 70 which put her at even par for 36 holes at 144 (74-70). She is one shot behind the individual lead held by Annabell Fuller of Florida and Brooke Biermann of Michigan State at 1-under 143. Both shot 1-under 71 on Saturday after even par 72s on Friday.
Those were the only under par rounds of the second round.

As a team, LSU was able to move up one spot on a day when LSU’s 14-over par total was the fourth best score in the 17-team field.
LSU’s round of 302 gives it a 36-hole total of 23-over par 599 (297-302) and fourth place. The Tigers are just six shots out of the lead held by Kentucky which is at 17-over par 593 (297-296).
