September 16, 2019 | Women's Golf
PULLMAN, Wash. – Senior Karen Miyamoto led the Huskies after 36 holes of the Dawgs 2019-20 season opening tournament on Monday as she is one stroke off the lead at the Cougar Cup. The Huskies as a team sit in fourth overall at 3-under 573 (287-286) with one round left to play at Palouse Ridge Golf in Pullman.
"It was a tough day out there, very cold with lots of rain and wind during the competition," said head coach Mary Lou Mulflur. "Overall, we hung in there pretty well I felt like we hit some really good shots in those conditions. We just need to clean some things up in our short game tomorrow and go from there."
Miyamoto opened her season with a strong start going 3-under 69 over her first 18 holes in a round that featured three birdies and an eagle on the par-5 17th hole. She followed that with an additional four birdies to put her two-round score at 5-under 139, just one stroke off the individual lead.
Sophomore Martha Lewis was next on the leaderboard for the Huskies as she is tied for 19th at even-par 144 (74-70). Despite going two-over during her opening round, Lewis cleaned up over the second 18 as she came in at 2-under 70 thanks to her four birdies.
Junior Rino Sasaki and freshman Brittany Kwon are each tied for 28th as they both posted a 2-over 146. Sasaki went 74-72 while Kwon, competing in her first event as a Husky, went 72-74 on the day. Rounding out the team scoring for UW was senior Alice Duan, who's 6-over 150 (72-78) has her sitting in a tie for 53rd.
Freshman Wendy Chen is also tied for 53rd as she is competing as an individual at the event. Chen went 74-76 en route to her two-round score of 6-over. Also playing as an individual was junior Wenyan Ma is tied for 77th at 12-over 156 (80-76).
Washington finishes its first tournament of the fall slate on Tuesday and will tee off at 7:45 a.m. with Washington State and California. Oregon State holds the team lead at 13-under 563.
