The TCU women have work to do after the first round of the Norman regional. The 6-seeded Frogs are in 13th place after round 1 of 3, which sounds terrible (only 6 teams advance), but the course (Jimmie Austin OU Golf Club) didn't produce a lot of separation among teams, and the Frogs are only 10 shots out of first.
In fact, the difference between TCU and 2nd-ranked UT (T3 at -1) was one hole, the 9th, which the Longhorns played in -5 (with a pair of hole-out eagles) and the Frogs played in +2.
A +6 team score is not unusual for this team (every player was within a shot or two of their season average), but they'll need to do better to advance--too many good teams.
On the plus side is Greta Bruner's individual play. In a field with 22 top-100 players, she is T6 at -2. She has been very good nearly all year, but she had a couple of shaky rounds late and is playing in the 3 slot this week. Great to see her have a good round.
Sabrina Iqbal had a typical solid round and is at even par (T24). If she finishes -2 or better this week, her scoring average will drop below Emmy Martin's school-record single-season scoring mark (72.9).
