We didn’t see the fireworks from the Oregon women’s golf team that we are accustomed to on Friday in the first round of the NCAA Championship Tournament, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t on the horizon.
After one day, the Ducks are in good shape to make a run, playing down at Grayhawk Golf Club in Scottsdale, AZ.
Led by Tze-Han (Heather) Lin, who shot an even-par 72, Oregon currenty sits at No. 7 in the standings with a 297 (+9) after the first day. Brutal heat and windy conditions made for tough play across the board, with no team finishing under par for the day. Here is how the team leaderboard looks after Day 1:
1. Stanford — 289 (+1)
2. Texas A&M — 292 (+4)
3. UCLA — 295 (+7)
T4. Auburn — 296 (+8)
T4. LSU — 296 (+8)
T4. Florida State — 296 (+8)
7. Oregon — 297 (+9)
T8. Alabama — 298 (+10)
T8. USC — 298 (+10)
10. Mississippi State — 299 (+11)
Conditions may get easier for Oregon, which tees off at 6:30 a.m. on Saturday morning, looking to beat the Arizona heat.
