Kawinpakorn tied for fourth

? Kansas University junior Yupaporn Kawinpakorn fired a 1-under 71 on Friday and was tied for fourth after the second round in an NCAA women’s golf regional at Briggs Ranch Golf Course.

Kawinpakorn is the only KU golfer in the 96-player field. She is tied with four other golfers at 6-under 138.

The low six teams and low three individuals not on those teams will advance to the NCAA Championship on May 25-27 in Bradenton, Florida. Kawinpakorn is tied for first among the individuals.

“Mook played steady today, didn’t have as many looks at birdie but still a very solid round,” KU coach Erin O’Neil said of Kawinpakorn. “She’s in good position going into tomorrow, needs to stick to playing the golf course tomorrow and be confident in her abilities. The rest will take care of itself.”

The final round is set for today.
