MESA, Ariz. – Returning to the course just three days after completing its home tournament, Arizona Women's Golf didn't let the quick turnaround slow down their scoring on the first day of the Clover Cup as the Wildcats finished in first place after the opening round. Senior Yu-Sang Hou led Arizona with a 4-under round of 68 to place second after the first round.
Hou's 4-under open to the tournament came off a blistering back nine that saw her make five birdies and four pars. Behind Hou was a trio of 1-under rounds of 71 from Vivian Hou, Ya Chun Chang and Gile Bite Starkute who all finished in a tie for 10th among the field. Sophomore Therese Warner's 1-over, 73, gave Arizona a fifth lineup member in the top 20 on the individual leaderboards.
