WGOLF | Dons In Seventh After Opening Day at BYU at Entrada Classic

ST. GEORGE, Utah – The University of San Francisco women's golf team opened the BYU at Entrada Classic hosted by the Cougars at the Entrada at Snow Canyon Country Club with a strong opening round. However, rough conditions in the final 18 holes of the day saw USF fall from fourth to a tie at seventh.
Â
After 36 holes, USF is tied for seventh with a 28-over 604 (294-310). The Dons opened the tournament with a very strong first round of 294, the seventh lowest round of the day, on the par-72 course. However, in the afternoon round, the Dons finished 22 over.Â
Â
"Today the team started out really strong with a solid first round that put us in fourth place," said head coach Sara Doell. "They played some great golf, made some good decisions, and put us in a great spot going into the second round. Unfortunately, in the second round as the wind picked, up we struggled to adjust to the changing conditions and finished poorly. As a result, we fell to seventh place to finish the first day. With a solid final round tomorrow, I think we can certainly finish in the top five."
Â
Leading the Dons after 36 holes are the freshmen tandem of Annika Borrelli and Jade Siphomsay. Borrelli cracked the top-20 and is tied for 18th after finishing with a 4-over 148 (72-76). Siphomsay finished tied for 32nd with a 7-over 151 (73-77).
Â
Borrelli opened the tournament with an even par-72 after carding a pair of birdies. On the final 18 of the day a trio of bogies to finish the round saw her finish four over, she still carded three more birdies to give her five for the tournament.Â
Â
Siphomsay carded six birdies on the day, three in the first round and three in the final 18. She was very strong on the par-5s for the day, finishing 2-under and finishing with an average score of 4.25.
Â
Pearl Rojanapeansatith finished tied for 37th after carding an 8-over 152 (75-77). Like Siphomsay, Rojanapeansatith also carded six birdies for the round.Â
Â
Joan Soewondo was tied for 45th with a 9-over 153 (74-79). Samantha Gong finished tied for 53rd with a 12-over 156 (76-80).Â
Â
No. 12 Kent State is the team leader after 36 holes with a 1-over 577 (292-285). Kent State's Thitapa Pakdeesettak is the individual leader after the first day, she finished with a 3-under 141 (72-69).
Â
The Dons will wrap up the tournament with the final round starting tomorrow at 7:30 a.m. PST.
