FORT COLLINS, Colo. – The University of Oregon women's golf team opened its season Monday tied for fifth place after the first two rounds of the Ptarmigan Ram Intercollegiate, hosted at the Ptarmigin Country Club.
Individually for UO, senior Kendra Little was tied for eighth overall (68-74-142) after she finished one shot shy of her career low in the first round on the par-72 6,302-yard course (while that same round tied for sixth-lowest in school history).
The Eugene, Ore., native shot five birdies in a nine-hole stretch in the middle of the first round, to go along with 12 par scores and only one bogey on the first hole. In the second round, she added three more birdies, 10 par scores and five bogeys.
Junior Ashley Edwards (72-74) and sophomore Cheyenne Hickle (74-72) followed in a tie for 19th place with their two-over scores of 146; freshman Raphaela Dyer (29th-t, 74-74-148) made her Duck debut; and senior Erica Omlid rounded out the Duck contingent (40th-t, 74-76-150).
Among the remaining Duck birdie counts, Hickle and Edwards each claimed seven, followed by Omlid (5) and Dyer (2).
Glancing at the team's history books, Little paced UO for the 43rd time in her 103 rounds for the Ducks and also enjoyed her 16th under-par score. Hickle's second-round leader for UO was the 11th of her career and her third round at par or better.
Overall in the individual standings, Idaho's Kayla Montellaro (first, 70-67-137) owned a one-stroke lead over California's Daniela Holmqvist (second, 70-68-138). Texas Tech's Kimberly Kaufman (67-72-139) and Colorado's Emily Talley (69-70-139) followed in a tie for third place in the 95-person field.
Team-wise, UO's six-over score of 582 (288-294) tied for fifth overall with Illinois (300-285-585) and Louisville (294-291-585), 10 strokes behind the leader and host Colorado State (first, 290-285-575). Colorado followed in second place (288-290-578), just ahead of No. 12 California (third, 294-285-579) and Baylor (fourth, 282-299-581) in the 17-team field.
Looking ahead, the Ducks return for the final round Tuesday morning with a shotgun start set for 8:30 a.m. Mountain Time.
