SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. - Freshman Emma Spitz shot a 3-under 69 on Tuesday at the San Luis Obispo Country Club to make up a six-shot deficit and share medalist honors at the Bruin Wave Invitational.
Spitz (-5, 211) made birdies on No. 1, 10 and 11, one bogey and 13 pars to close to within one shot of Northwestern's Kelly Sim heading to the 18th hole.
