Chen Leads Ducks On Day One Of Stanford Intercollegiate
10/15/21 | Women's Golf
STANFORD, Calif. – The Oregon women's golf team is tied for fifth place through 18 holes at the Stanford Intercollegiate after opening the weekend with a 4-over 288 on Friday at Stanford Golf Course.
The No. 5 Ducks – coached this week by assistant Monica Vaughn while head coach Derek Radley remains in Eugene awaiting the birth of his third child – were 4-over par through the first nine holes before shooting even as a team on the back nine. No. 1 Stanford leads the field at 11 under on its home course.
Oregon was led by Ching-Tzu Chen, who was 2 under across her final 14 holes of the day to finish with a 2-under 69, good for a tie for sixth place individually. Stanford's Rose Zhang leads the field at 6-under par.
How it Happened: A birdie on her second hole and a bogey on her fourth hole had Chen at even par early on, and the junior was rock solid the rest of the way. She was 1 under through six holes and rattled off nine consecutive pars before getting to 2 under with her third birdie of the day. She finished her round with back-to-back pars to close round one with a 69.
Sophomore Hsin-Yu (Cynthia) Lu finished the day three shots back of Chen with a 1-over 72. Lu was 2 over through the front nine before shooting 1 under on the back nine, headlined by a birdie on her final hole of the day.
Senior Tze-Han (Heather) Lin was one stroke behind Lu with a 2-over 73, and junior Briana Chacon rounded out the counting scores with a 3-over 74. Junior Sofie Kibsgaard Nielsen finished out the lineup with a 4-over 75.
