TCU shot a 293, a 6-stroke improvement from Sunday's opening round, to move into a tie for eighth place at 592. No. 8 Arkansas leads with a 570, 7 strokes ahead of No. 5 Georgia.
"We are moving on up and working on going from good to great," TCU head coach Angie Ravaioli-Larkin said. "The team is definitely committed to the process which is showing progress. Proud to be a Horned Frog!"
McGovern posted the third sub-70 round of her TCU career, 2 shots off her career-low 67 set this fall at the Golfweek Conference Challenge. She birdied three holes and shot par on 15.
