NCAA Women's Golf Championship: Texas A&M's mentality, Lindblad's rare off day and more after Saturday's second round

CARLSBAD, Calif. — The second round of the NCAA Women’s Golf Championship is in the books.

Thirty-six holes at Omni La Costa Resort & Spa’s North Course have come and gone, and we’re one step closer to crowning a national champion. The defending champions, Wake Forest, are lingering around the 54-hole cutline, but the Demon Deacons are in a better position than No. 3 South Carolina going into the third round. After Sunday’s play, the field will be cut to the top-15 teams.

Meanwhile, a team that barely made it out of its home regional has taken control on top of the leaderboard, and the best female amateur in the world had the worst day of her college career.
