The Emory University women's golf team opened play at the NCAA Championships on Tuesday morning before play was suspended due to inclement weather in Williamsburg, Virginia. The Eagles were playing on the 72 par, 5,820 yard River Course at the Kingsmill Resort.

Two Eagles tee'd off in the morning before play was halted at 10:20 AM due to the weather. Play later resumed at 3:15 but darkness stopped the competition once again. Emory made it through 17-18 holes with seniors Ellen Dong and Sharon Mun and freshman Zimo Li finishing before the suspension. The field will finish their final holes at 8:00 AM on Tuesday before playing the scheduled 18 holes while the field will be cut following 36 completed rounds. 

Before play was stopped, sophomores Carys Code and Esther Jung were leading the way for the Eagles both shooting a 69 (+1) through 17 completed holes. Code currently leads the Eagles with three birdies through the competition. 

Li followed right behind with a 75 (+3) through all 18 holes while shooting 13 pars in the first round. Dong was the final Eagle to earn a counting score shooting a 77 (+5) on Tuesday to start the competition followed by a 79 (+7) from Mun to round out the individual scores for Emory. 

Following the conclusion of round one tomorrow morning, the Eagles will begin round two shortly after.
