PHOENIX, Ariz. – The Kansas women's golf team is tied for fifth place after the opening round of the ASU Ping Invitational, shooting a team score of 287 (-1) on Friday.
"It was a total team effort today, just amazing to have seven players shoot 70 to 74 on this course," said Kansas head coach Lindsay Kuhle. "We had it going pretty much the whole day and it was very consistent play. A couple of our players really bounced back, which is fun to see, and we finished really strong on some difficult holes with the wind. So proud of the effort and I think we're in a great place and really proud of our day."
Host Arizona State leads the way at -15, followed by Northwestern (-9), Pepperdine (-2), UCLA (-2) and Kansas (-1) to round out the top five of the team leaderboard.
Junior Amy DeKock set the pace for the Jayhawks in the opening round, recording four birdies on her way to a 2-under 70. She currently sits in a tie for seventh place individually.
Sophomore Lyla Louderbaugh delivered a strong opening round, tallying three birdies and a bogey-free front nine. She posted a 1-under 71 and sits in a tie for 14th place, inside the top 20.
Seniors Lily Hirst, Lauren Clark and freshman Ebba Nordstedt each posted a 1-over 73, placing them in a tie for 26th. Nordstedt finished strong, sinking two birdies over her final six holes, while Clark notched two birdies and recorded an eagle on the 512-yard, par-5 ninth hole.
"Amy was great and made a lot of great birdies out there today, as well as Lyla playing in the fifth spot," said Kuhle. "This team is fighting hard for each other, which, as a coach, is really fun to see, and I'm really proud of them. How much they care about KU and continuing to finish this regular season on a really high note is exciting to see."
Senior Johanna Ebner and junior Anna Wallin competed as individuals at the ASU Ping Invitational. Ebner carded a 1-over 73 to join the tie for 26th, while Wallin posted a 2-over 74, landing in 41st place.
