SPOKANE, Wash. – After the opening round of the WCC Championships University of San Francisco women's golf team sits in fifth place after shooting a 26-over 310 at the par-71 Manito Golf and Country Club.
Â
Collectively, the Dons struggled on the green in the front-9, collecting just one birdie as a team. On the back-9 USF was much stronger as the Dons carded eight birdies as a team. There were no low scores on the day as only one player out of 25 in the tournament finished even par.
Â
"Tough day for the Dons in our first round," said head coach Sara Doell. "We certainly left a lot of shots out there as the putter seemed to big our biggest problem. Regardless, the team has their heads held high and we look forward to rebounding tomorrow." Â
Â
Freshman Annika Borrelli is the Dons' leader after 18. She finished the day with a 3-over 74 which has her in a three-way tie at sixth, just three back the leader. Borrelli opened the round four over on the front, but birdies on 13, 14, and 17 saw her 1-under on the back. She was on fire on the par-3 and par-5s today, leading the tournament in average scores for both holes. On the par-3 she boasted an average score of 2.50 and was 2-under. On the par-5s she averaged 4.33 and was also 2-under.
Â
Sophomore Pearl Rojanapeansatith finished in second for the Dons at 5-over which puts her in a tie at 14th. Rojanapeansatith was a steady performer for USF on the day, she opened the round with pars on 13 of the first 14 holes. She ran into trouble on 15,16, and 17 before carding a birdie on 18.
Â
The remaining three Dons all finished in order: 22nd, 23rd, and 24th on the day. Joan Soewondo finished the round with an 8-over 79. Jade Siphomsay is in 23rd with a 10-over 81, she is followed by Samantha Gong who is 24th with an 11-over 82.Â
