Palo Alto, Calif. – The University of Florida women's golf team competed in the first round of the Stanford Intercollegiate in Palo Alto, Calif. on Friday. The Gators are in eighth place after posting a team score of +13 (294) in the first round.

Junior Taylor Tomlinson led the way for the Orange and Blue, recording an even-par 71 in the first round. Tomlinson is currently tied for eighth place. Freshman Marta Perez and senior Maria Torres both carded a +3 (74) first round, and are tied for 26th place.

Northwestern is leading the tournament at +1 (285), and San Diego State's Georgia Lacey is at the top of the individual leaderboard at -4 (67) on the par-71, 6,130-yard Stanford Golf Course

Head Coach Emily Glaser:

Thoughts on the Gators' first day of competition:
"Today was a bit of a struggle overall. The weather conditions were difficult, and the golf course played quite a bit different than the practice round. It just looked like we didn't adjust very well. Today's learning experience will make each of the girls better. We are happy for the opportunity to redeem ourselves over the next couple days."

On Taylor Tomlinson's first round:
"I'm happy for Taylor and the great round she posted today to lead our team. It's no secret we have depth this year, and we have left some great players home at each event, including Taylor. She has never complained or questioned our decisions. She really is the epitome of a team player. Her toughness and positive attitude showed today."
