Not a single Cougar logged a round over par as the women’s golf team blew away the competition in its season-opening appearance in the Sam Golden Invitational on Monday.
Freshman Ellen Yates finished first in the tournament in her collegiate debut, shooting 14-under par while senior Nicole Abelar finished second just two strokes behind her teammate.
UH registered its best round in program history in the tournament’s first round on Sunday, shooting a 16-under 272. Sophomore Moa Svedenskiold led the way, shooting a 66-stroke first round.
In round two, Yates got in a groove with five birdies and an eagle for a team-best second round of 67.
