PALM DESERT, Calif. – NM State continued play at the Alice and John Wallace Classic at Monterey Country Club on Sunday morning as the Aggie squad took part in the second round of competition. The Aggies improved on their performance from Saturday as they combined to shoot three-over on the day – moving the team up one spot and into seventh place on the team leaderboard.

Individually, the Aggies were paced by No. 69 Emma Bunch who posted a 68 (-3) during her second round to advance 13 spots and into a tie for seventh place on the 120-player individual leaderboard. This marked Bunch’s third round of the year in the 60s and lowest round since shooting a 68 in the final round of the Golfweek Fall Challenge on Sept. 10, 2024.

Angela Garvin also improved her spot in the field as she finished with a 73 (+2) for the second straight day and now sits in a tie for 28^th. Camille Pazouki finds herself just one stroke behind Garvin and in a tie for 34^th after a stellar round of 70 (-1) which included four birdies. Kaylee Chen stands in a tie for 48^th while Alex Armendariz is tied for 74^th to round out the group of Aggies in California.
