PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. – Oklahoma senior
Savannah Barber fired her first under-par round of the season on Saturday, signing for a 1-under 71 at Pebble Beach Golf Links to move into a tie for 10th with one round remaining at the Carmel Cup.
The Sooners (8, +25) sit six shots outside third place and will look to climb the leaderboard in Sunday's final round as they chase a sixth consecutive top-five finish at a regular-season tournament dating back to last season.
Barber (T10, +1) surged into the top 10 with her steady 71, highlighted by two birdies and a bogey on the front nine before turning in a bogey-free back nine. The senior now owns 42 career rounds of par-or-better, the fifth most in program history, and will aim for her eighth career top-10 finish on Sunday.
Fellow senior
Isabelle Schlick (T17, +4) delivered a strong second round, carding four birdies en route to a 1-under 71. The Bad Homburg, Germany, native climbed 18 spots into the top 25 and is in pursuit of her fourth career top-20 finish at Oklahoma.
