GREENVILLE, S.C. - East Carolina freshman Meghan Moore fired a three-over par 75 and is currently tied for ninth place after two rounds at the 38th Lady Paladin Invitational, which is being played at the par-72, 6,199-yard Furman University Golf Course.
Moore, who is playing in her first collegiate tournament as an individual, registered a pair of birdies on holes No. 2 and No. 7 to finish with a front nine 34 and closed out the round with a five-over par 41 for a two-day total of 153. Fellow Pirate Amber Littman is one stroke behind Moore with a score of 154 after a second round score of 76 which consisted of two birdies and 10 pars for a share of 11th place.
