The sophomore is tied for second after shooting a two-round score of 5-under-par 139 on Friday at the Liz Murphey Collegiate Classic in Athens, Ga.
Molly Skapik finished the day tied for 13th, aided by a solid first round. The senior had five birdies during the opening 18 holes and capped the two rounds with a 1-over-par 145.
