April 17, 2026 | Women's Golf
Belleair, Fla. — Georgia fired a 15-over 295 in Friday's opening round of the SEC Women's Golf Championships at Pelican Golf Club, placing the Bulldogs in 14th on the team leaderboard.
Five Fast Facts:
• Georgia is 14th in a stacked field that includes five top-10 and 10 top-25 teams in the national rankings.
• The Bulldogs teed off from No. 10 and played the back side of the course first. Georgia turned at 2-over and gained another stroke early on the front half of the course before struggling late in the round.
• Freshman Trinity Beth led Georgia with a 3-over 73, while the Bulldogs also counted a trio of 74s from freshman Gabriella Albert, sophomore Sydney Givens and junior Karoline Tuttle.
• On the individual leaderboard, Beth is in 46th place; Albert, Givens and Tuttle are all tied for 57th; and Maria Eidhagen Harrouch, who shot 77, it in 75th.
• No. 4 Texas A&M and No. 14 Vanderbilt share the first-round lead after shooting 4-under 276s. Texas A&M's Vanessa Borobilos, Ole Miss' Mary Miller and Mississippi State's Avery Weed are tied for the individual lead at 4-under 66.

Head Coach Erika Brennan:
On the team's performance...
"We came out flying today and got through our first nine in great shape. Even as we turned, they stayed in it and had some clutch par saves. Unfortunately, we started playing tight down the stretch and it cost us big time. We will need to keep swinging big and free tomorrow instead of playing to protect. Another opportunity to get after it!"
Up Next: Georgia will be paired with golfers from Alabama, Kentucky and LSU for Saturday's second round, teeing off in 10-minute intervals from No. 10 between 9:10-10:00. Live scoring is available here.
