October 16, 2017 | Women's Golf
PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. β The University of Washington women's golf team got off to a great start at the annual Stanford Intercollegiate as it sits in third place at 7-over 291 following the first 18 holes at Poppy Hills Golf Course. The Dawgs were led by junior Wenyung Keh who is tied for second at 3-under 68.

"We played pretty solid and I was pleased with what we did on the course today," said head coach Mary Lou Mulflur. "Wenyung's finish really pulled us through and it was great to see her play with confidence. This course is very hard and the greens are rough, so we need to be smarter with it tomorrow but overall I am happy with the way that our group hung in there playing against some tough competition.

On one of the toughest courses the Huskies will face this fall, Keh shined. The junior, who is two shots off the lead, knocked in a total of seven birdies including five over her final eight holes. She made the turn at even-par then after a bogey on hole 10 went on to showcase her stellar game with birdies on 11, 13, 14, 16 and 18.

Junior Julianne Alvarez was UW's second-best finisher after day one of the three-day event, as she sits tied for 12th at 1-over 72.

She then knocked in three straight birdies and following bogeys on 14 an 15 rounded out her day at 1-over.
