HOW IT HAPPENED
•  Â
Katie Jorgenson took the lead after one round at the DWU invitational, she destroyed her previous low round, which was a 79 (+7) by shooting a 76 (+4) at Lakeview Golf Course in Mitchell today. She made four birdies and seven pars in the 18 holes and shot a 37 (+1) on the front nine. It is tied for the fifth best 18-hole round in BHSU history. She currently holds a one-shot lead.

Leyni Stavola is next and is sitting in a tie for fourth after shooting a career-low 79 (+7) on 18 today. Her previous career-low was an 81 (+9) that she shot at the Swan Memorial earlier this year. Stavola only had two bogeys on the front nine and seven pars to shoot a 38 (+2). She then parred five of the last six holes to shot 41 (+5) on the back. She is three shots back of Jorgenson for the lead at Lakeview.
•   Finally,
Olivia McCandless followed up her third-place finish at the Hardrocker Spring Invite with an 82 (+10), which puts her in a tie for ninth place. The +10 is only one back of her career-low under par round, which she shot last week at the HSI. She, opposite of the other two, actually played better on the back shooting a 39 (+3) on the back with only three bogeys and six pars. She is tied with three other girls at 82.
