Cali Hipp shot a 2-over-par 73, the low round of the day for Oregon. Hipp birdied the eighth and ninth holes to go 1-under at the turn, but bogeys on 11, 14, and 14 slowed her momentum. Hipp is tied for 18th place in the individual competition, six strokes behind leader Rachael Watton of Denver. @@http://www.golfstatresults.com//public/leaderboards/player/static/player2908.html@@
Cassy Isagawa shot a 5-over-par 76 for the Ducks. After birdying the 16th hole, Isagawa bogeyed 17 and 18 to drop to a tie for 35th in the individual competition.
Ashley Edwards bogeyed five of her last eight holes to finish with a 6-over-par 77. Edwards was only 1-over-par at the turn, but her disappointing finish left her tied for 48th place in the individual competition.
Raphaela Dyer (7-over-par 78) and Cheyenne Hickle (11-over-par 82) rounded out Oregon’s group.
The Ducks will try to make up ground on the Bruins in the tournament’s second round Tuesday.
