STANFORD, Calif. – After one round of play at the 2018 Stanford Intercollegiate, No. 8 Sun Devil women's golf is currently in a tie for sixth in a closely contested race, just three strokes out of the top-three.
Individually, freshman Alexandra Försterling is the top Sun Devil, shooting a career-low 69 and in a tie for sixth. Försterling recorded five birdies on the day, two on the front nine and three on the back.
"Alexandra had a really good day," said head coach Missy Farr-Kaye. "I am so pleased to see her break through with her first under par round in college golf. Although we left some shots on the golf course, we played very well coming down the stretch. We are learning and getting better every day."
A small margin separating each individual after 18 holes, junior Olivia Mehaffey sits just outside the top-25 (T29), shooting a 73 on the day while Raquel Olmos and Madison Kerley are both T40, shooting a 74. Sofia Anokhina is one stroke back from Olmos and Mehaffey, shooting a 75 (T50).
On Saturday, Arizona State has one of the later start times, teeing off every 11 minutes between 12 noon and 12:44 pm on hole one alongside Florida State and individuals from Stanford, Northwestern, and Cal. The second round will get started at 7:30 am.
