Tulsa second early in West Regional, Arkansas and OSU in top five
May 08 2008
Tulsa had three golfers shoot under-par in first round action at the NCAA West Regional on Thursday afternoon and finished the day in second place, four shots behind USC. The Golden Hurricane has a 1-under par 287 total in the 21-team field at the par-72 Lincoln Hills Golf Club in Lincoln, California.
Tulsa senior Michaela Cavener, ranked 45th nationally by Golfstat, carded a 2-under par 70, while Tulsa’s two other under-par scores came from freshman Kelly Fuchik and senior Tara Goedeken with rounds of 71 today.
Arkansas is in fourth place, Oklahoma State in fifth, the University of Oklahoma tied for 12th and Oral Roberts brings up the rear in 21st place among other local schools.
The Hurricane began the day’s round on hole 12, and it wasn’t a good start as the women were 7-over par following the first two holes. Cavener was 3-over par after her first five holes, but a birdie on hole 3, her 10th hole of the day began a nine-hole stretch that saw her go 5-under with four birdies, one eagle and a bogey.
Goedeken bogeyed her second hole of the day, the par 4 13th, and double-bogeyed the par-3 16th after a birdie on the 15th hole. She rounded out the day by nailing birdie putts on holes 6, 8, 9 and 10, but suffered a bogey on her final hole of the day, the par 3 11th hole. Fuchik had a similar round, going 4-over in her first five holes, but turning in six birdies and only two bogeys the rest of the way. She birdied four of her final eight holes and three straight -- the 9th, 10th and 11th holes.
Junior Woori Shin pared 15 holes and had three bogeys on the day to finish first round action with a total of 75. Her round was the fourth score to count for the Hurricane in Thursday’s action - as Tulsa counted a round of 70, two 71s and a 75 for its team score of 287.
