KIAWAH ISLAND, S.C. - Michelle Koh shot a school-record,
5-under-par 66 in Monday's second round and Campbell moved up to

A junior from Kuantan, Malaysia, Koh broke the previous school
record of 68 she shared with five other Camel golfers by two
strokes. Her 11 birdies through 36 holes leads the 92-golfer

holes and is four-under on the par-fives on the par-71, 5912-yard

She moved into a tie for second place at three-under-par 139

Fernandez of Jacksonville State (70-69-139), five strokes behind
individual leader Leigh Whittaker from host College of
Charleston.
Campbell senior Sarah Bejgrowicz is tied for sixth place at

Lancaster, Pa., native is four-under on the par-5 holes,
second-best in the event. Sophomore Teresa Urquizu is tied for
20th on the leader board at plus-five 147 (77-70).
The Camels (299-284-583) moved up five spots from their first round
standing to fourth place after shooting the low score of the second
round (284). Both of Campbell's rounds on Monday marked
season-lows for the team.
