BATON ROUGE, La. - Wake Forest carded a 317 on the first day of the LSU Tiger Golf Classic at the University Club. Allison Emrey led the Demon Deacons with a 4-over 76 in the opening round.
Emrey is poised to move up the standings on Saturday, just four strokes back of the leaders with 36 holes remaining. She is tied for 18th after an opening round 76.
As a team the Demon Deacons fired a 317 and sit in 13th place. There are just five strokes separating spots five through 13 in the team standings.
