Bremer moves to third at conference championships

Sophomore Raegan Bremer moved into a tie for third place Tuesday afternoon at the inaugural American Athletic Conference Championships.

Bremer finished the second round with a score of 2-over-par 74 on the 6,235-yard course. She posted 11 pars — with a birdie on the challenging par-4 ninth hole — through the first 12 holes to start her day.

Although she struggled with bogeys on two of her last three holes, her 36-hole score of 152 put in a group with four others, five strokes behind leader Jenny Haglund of SMU.

Bremer, who is a two-time American Athletic Conference Golfer of the Week selection, has led the Cougars in all but three tournaments in 2013 and 2014. She has posted three top-10 finishes this season and etched her name in the school records book by winning the HBU Husky Invitational at Sugar Land’s Riverbend Country Club between March 31 and April 1.

Junior Courtney Ferguson is tied for 18th after she improved her score by five strokes by shooting a 77 on Monday while freshman Emily Gilbreth is in 30th.

The Cougars are not yet eligible to compete for the team title. The three-day, 54-hole tournament concludes at 7 a.m. (CDT), Tuesday.
