GUADALAJARA, Mexico – The No. 23 TCU women’s golf team picked up where it left off to begin the spring portion of its season.
 
The Horned Frogs are tied for second place in the Collegiate Invitational at Guadalajara Country Club after 27 holes of play on Friday.
 
TCU shot a one-under 431 over the first half of the three-round, 54-hole affair. The Frogs sat in a three-way tie for first at minus-fur (284) following round one.
