Ducks In Fourth After Day One In Hawaii
11/01/21 | Women's Golf
KAILUA KONA, Hawaii – The Oregon women's golf team is in fourth place through the first 18 holes of the Nanea Pac-12 Preview after opening its final fall tournament with an even-par 292 on Monday at Nanea Golf Club.
The No. 5 Ducks led for a good portion of the opening round before dropping a few strokes late in the day. No. 1 Stanford is in the lead at 4 under, with No. 22 USC in second at 2 under and Washington in third at 1 under.
Oregon was led by senior Tze-Han (Heather) Lin, who continued her strong fall with a 1-under 72. It was the third straight round under par for Lin after she led Oregon with a fourth-place showing the last time out at the Stanford Intercollegiate.
How it Happened: Lin was steady all day long with three birdies and just two bogeys to shoot a 72, putting her in a tie for ninth on the individual leaderboard. Lin has a good history at the Nanea Pac-12 Preview, earning co-medalist honors at the event as a freshman in 2016.
Briana Chacon and Hsin-Yu (Cynthia) Lu – Oregon's two all-Pac-12 selections last spring – finished right behind Lin at even par. Chacon made six birdies in 11 holes to get to 4-under par with three to play before making a triple and a bogey, and Lu ended the day with three birdies and three bogeys.
Ching-Tzu Chen rounded out Oregon's counting scores with a 1-over 74, and Sofie Kibsgaard Nielsen closed the day with a 4-over 77.
