Freshman Maguire T-17th in first collegiate tournament
UNIVERSITY PLACE, Wash. – With the second most pars and the third least bogeys for the day, Grand Canyon sits fourth out of 16 schools in the season opening tournament at The Leadership and Golf Invitational at Chambers Bay.
News and Notes
The Leadership and Golf Invitational marks the second straight season the Lopes have competed at Chambers Bay, with tee time temperatures in the mid 50's and a high of 70 throughout the rounds. GCU's rhythm started to connect halfway through round one, where six birdies were tallied between holes 16, 17, and 18.
Haines highlighted the first round with a 2 under score over her final six holes, finishing even par with a 1 under front nine total. Maguire showed poise in her first tournament, coming back from three straight bogeys with three birdies over the stretch of four holes to finish 1 under in the first round.
Freshman Alexis Vakasiuola, the younger sister of All-WAC Second Team Lope last season Alyzzah Vakasiuola, had three birdies while sophomore Allie Justiz matched that total in their first rounds at GCU.
It was Tremouille who made the jump up the leaderboard and helped guide the Lopes into the top five, carding an even second round that included a 1 under back nine. Tremouille began her day on hole eight and tallied eight straight pars to open her round before a birdie on 16 put her score in red.
GCU totaled 105 pars, tied second most among the field and only one back from Long Beach State's 106. The squad's 35 bogeys were third lowest over two rounds, while its 3.11 par 4 scoring average was tied for fourth best for the day.
Third and final round action concludes tomorrow morning at 8 a.m.
