FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Washington golfer Camille Boyd celebrated her birthday by finishing as the low Husky scorer at the first round of the Blessings Collegiate Invitational Monday. She shot an even-par 72 to finish the opening round in a tie for seventh place. Washington was tied for fourth as a team, at 7-over.

The tournament features both the men's and women's teams from nine different colleges, and is hosted by Arkansas on the Razorbacks' home course, Blessings Golf Club.

Boyd was 4-over through her first seven holes, but then played her final 11 at 4-under, thanks to a birdie on 17, and three consecutive birdies on holes 4 through 6.

Fellow senior Stefanie Deng also finished strong, with three birdies over her final seven holes to post a 1-over 73 for the round, good for a tie for 13th place.

Jenny Chang also carded a 1-over 73 to tie with Deng. Chang was 3-over through her first nine, but played her second nine at 2-under par.

Freshman Vivian Lu finished the first round tied for 29th at 5-over, while classmate Mads Smith was 7-over, tying her for 39th.

The second of three rounds gets underway Tuesday morning at 7:00 a.m. PT, with the third and final round Wednesday. Each day from 1:00-4:30 p.m. PT, the Golf Channel has live coverage from Fayetteville.
