PULLMAN, WASH. – Behind multiple strong up and down the lineup and a strong close, the Texas Tech women's golf program enjoys solo third place after 18 holes of the Pullman Regional hosted by Washington State and Palouse Ridge Golf Club.
The day got off a strong start for Texas Tech, as a pair of players led a strong first nine holes. Teeing off from 10, freshman Shannon Tan got off to a torrid start using three birdies in the first five holes to record a bogey-free 32.
In the end, Tan sprinkled two bogeys around a pair of birdies and an eagle to finish the day at -6, which is good for a tie for fourth.
Sophomore Chiara Horder also fired a bogey-free front nine to close out an opening round 69, while Gala Dumez finished with a two-under round of 70.
The strong performances find the Red Raiders in solo third at -11 overall.
No. 1 Stanford caught fire late to fire a team score of 267 (-21) to lead by five shots over No. 13 USC (-16). Tech sits five shots back at -11, followed by No. 11 Baylor and Sacramento State who are tied at five-under.
Houston (-4), Clemson (-3), Cal Poly (-2) and Kentucky (-1) round out the nine teams under par after day one.
UNC and UNLV are tied for 10th at +3, while Green Bay sits at +23 in solo 12th place.
After a slow start, No. 1 World Amatuer Rose Zhang used four late birdies and an eagle to fire an opening round 64 (-8). Zhang and teammate Sadie Englemann are tied at -8 followed by UC Riversides Tiffany Lee who is at -7.
UP NEXT:
Tech returns to action tomorrow at 11 a.m. (CT) for the second round and will be paired with No. 1 Stanford and No. 13 USC.
