PALM DESERT, Calif. – Wyoming Cowgirls golf shot a 304 (+20) in the opening round of the Alice and John Wallace Women's Golf Classic on Saturday to finish 17th in the 21-team field through 18 holes at Monterey Country Club.
 
"The team took a few holes to settle in but they had a solid rally to end the round," UW head coach Josey Stender said. "The course has different challenges compared to our last event and we needed to make a quicker adjustment to start. We are now on tight fairways, very firm, small but quick greens lined with thick rough." 
 
Sophie Spiva led the Cowgirls by firing a 71 to finish at even par and tied for 10th place on the individual leaderboard. The junior from Casper finished with four birdies, two bogeys and one double bogey.
 
Freshman Emerson Purcell and senior Meghan Vogt both shot 77 (+6), senior Kyle Wilde shot 79 (+8) and sophomore Kira Reisner shot 82 (+11) to round out UW's scoring.
 
"Sophie played very resilient after a tough start and with the exception of an unfortunate run in with a palm tree," Stender said. "Kyla also had a solid round."
 
No. 5 Oregon leads (-8) leads No. 3 USC (-1) by seven shots. San Jose State (+2) is third in the team standings.
