USF Women's Golf Opens Up 21-Stroke Lead After Day One of the 2004 UC Irvine Anteater Invite
March 15, 2004
(Cota de Caza, CA) - USF women's golf shot their best scores of the spring season, shooting a 291 in the opening round, followed by a 295 in the second round for a two-round score of 586, good for a 21-stroke lead on the rest of the field at the 2004 UC Irvine Anteater Invitational held at the Coto de Caza Golf & Racquet Club. Brigham Young sits in second place with a 607 (307, 300), Michigan is in third at 612 (302, 312), San Jose State is in fourth place with a 616 (306, 310), while host UC Irvine rounds out the top-five with a 617 (307, 310).
Sophomore Nikki Jacoby fired a one-under 71 in the first round and shot 74 in the second and leads the field at 145, one stroke in front of senior Kristi Larsen's 146 (72, 74). Junior Mariko Shimozaki shares third place with a 147 (74, 73) and blistered the back nine of the course turning in scores of 33 and 34 after making the turn. Senior Jordan Auten added a 148 (74, 74).
Head coach Sara Range was understandably thrilled with the performance of her team.
"I think we have all been waiting to break out and play like this. We have worked very hard in practice and the team really responded today," Range said.
San Francisco begins their quest for their second tournament victory of the season Tuesday. USF is scheduled for an 8:30 AM tee-time. The Lady Dons won the 2003 Ptarmigan Ram Fall Classic, hosted by Colorado State, to open the 2003-2004 season.
