Solid Opening Day for Women's Golf at Golf Iconic Classic

LAS CRUCES, N.M. - Santa Clara women's golf had a great start to the Golf Iconic Classic, tallying a 3-under 285 in Monday's opening round to put themselves in a tie for sixth at the par 72, 6,420-yard New Mexico State Golf Course. All five individuals shot 1-over or better with Alexa Pineda (-3) and Kelsey Kim (-2) both shooting under par to finish the round inside the top-15. 

ROUND HIGHLIGHTS:
  • Santa Clara tallied 13 birdies on the day with Pineda accounting for four of those as part of her 3-under 69 round, which is tied for the lowest of her career. Pineda is tied for sixth and just three strokes back from the three-way tie for the lead at 5-under. 
  • Kim is right on Pineda's heels at 2-under 70 where she is tied for 13th. The junior had the shot of the day with an eagle on the par-4 No. 3 hole. 
  • Audrey Brust, Proud Sriwongngam and Chloe Lam all shot 1-over 73 to tie for 40th. 
  • Boise State holds a six-stroke lead at 12-under 276, but behind them is a crowded field separated by just a couple strokes.
