SPOKANE, Wash. — The Gonzaga women's golf team sits in a tie for sixth after the first round of the 41st Pat Bradley Invitational, hosted by Florida International at Lakewood Ranch Golf and Country Club in Lakewood Ranch, Fla.
Â
Gonzaga was out on the course early with the first tee times of the day and got off to a hot start with its top four combining to go one-under through the first six holes. Nina Novilla played the front nine in two-under, while Francesca Santoni was even at the turn and Quynn Duong was just one-over.
"It was an OK day for our first look at this golf course," head coach Brad Rickel said. "We have to make more putts tomorrow if we want to move up."
Â
The Zags combined to shoot an even 300 as a team.
Â
Duong posted the team's the top total score of the day with a one-over 73 after playing the back nine even par. She sits inside a tie for 17th. Novilla posted a three-over 75, along with Jessica Mangrobang, who rebounded from a four-over front nine to birdie holes 17 and 18 to play the back in one-under for her own 75 (+3). Novilla and Mangrobang will enter the second round tied for 35th.
Â
Santoni rounded out GU's top four scores with a 77 to sit in a tie for 45th place.
Â
