DADE CITY, Fla. — WKU Lady Topper Golf shattered its previous records for 18- and 36-hole team scores Monday in the first two rounds of its own Spring Break Shootout.

The Lady Toppers finished the day with a two-round total of 573 (280-293), seven shots better than the previous program record for 36 holes of 580 set in this season's opening event, the USA Intercollegiate.

WKU opened the day with a 4-under 280 in the first round, six shots lower than the previous 18-hole record of 286 at the 2018 UNF Collegiate.

The Lady Toppers are in third place as a team heading into Tuesday's final round, but just two shots behind first-place Troy and one shot back of co-host Florida Gulf Coast.

The tournament is being played at the par-71, 6,056-yard Lake Jovita Golf Club.

All five WKU golfers are currently in the top 25, led by junior Bailey Tyree in a tie for seventh at 141 (68-73) – all career lows. Tyree's first-round 68 ties for the fourth-lowest single round in program history.

Sophomore Megan Clarke is tied for ninth with a two-round total of 142 (69-73), while junior Mary Joiner is tied for 19th at 145 (72-73).
