AUBURN, Ala. — Arkansas had three players in the Top 10 taking the lead after round one of the Evans-Derby Experience in Auburn, Alabama, on Saturday.

Seniors Maria Fassi and Dylan Kim are tied for fourth overall, shooting two-under 70’s and senior Kaylee Benton is tied for 10th with an even par 72 at the Auburn University Course.

Team’s began the round from the first tee box and Fassi appeared to struggle in the opening holes.

The All-American was four-over after eight holes but picked up a birdie on the ninth hole before the turn. The momentum carried over to the back nine as Fassi played the second side 5-under with four birdies in her final five holes.

Kim’s scorecard was balanced, especially on the back nine where she was even with one birdie and one bogey. She was two-under on the front side with three birdies to turn with a 34.

Benton had the least ink on her scorecard with a bogey on the third hole and a birdie to move to even on No. 17. Ximena Gonzalez played 1-over with a 73 and is tied for 21st while sophomore Maria Hoyos is tied for 85th shooting an 83. Julia Dean is competing as an individual and is tied for 42nd with a 75 on Saturday.

Arkansas again finds itself among a talented field with two rounds remaining. Arkansas’ 3-under 285 leads No. 7 Florida (288), No. 2 Texas (290), No. 13 Auburn (290) an No. 14 Kent State (292) who round out the top-5 in the standings.
