SPRINGVILLE, Utah — Gonzaga women's golf sits in first place after the first two rounds of the season-opening Hobble Creek Fall Classic. Zag freshman Chaewon Baek tops the leaderboard at even par (142).
In her collegiate debut, Baek opened the tournament with a 70 (-1) in the first round and had a 72 (+1) in Round 2. She leads the 100-golfer field with a 2.70 (-3) average on the course's Par-3 holes. The Langley, B.C., native is third with seven birdies through the first 36 holes. She made three birdies with 13 pars in Round 1, and four birdies and 10 pars in the second round.
The Bulldogs are 17-over (585) entering the final round. GU opened the event with a 291 (+7) in the first round, before ending the day with a 10-over (294) in Round 2. The Zags are second in the tournament with 23 birdies, and 3.20 (+10) and 4.30 (+27) averages on the course's Par-3 and Par-4 holes.
Mary Scott Wolfe sits in a tie for third place at two-over (144). She matched her career-low with a 68 (-3) in the first round. Her 68 was the lowest round of the day in the tournament by two strokes. The sophomore made five birdies and 11 pars in Round 1, with 11 more pars in the second round. She was five-over (76) in Round 2.
Cassie Kim and Quynn Duong are tied for 21st and 24th at seven-over and eight-over. Kim made three birdies and 12 pars in her second round of 72 (+1). Kim's 26 pars are the second-most in the field after two rounds. Alyssa Nguyen is tied for 87th at 21-over (163).
"Our team is happy to be at it again," Gonzaga Head Coach Brad Rickel said. "Mary Scott's 68 in the morning round was a great round. Freshman Chaewon Baek showed up to play. I'm so happy with how she went about her business, she's leading after her first 36 hole in her first college tournament!
"The team showed a little rust and let it get away from us on the greens in the afternoon round but we will look to clean that up tomorrow."
Northern Arizona's Kimberlee Tottori is in second behind Baek at one-over (143). Three golfers, including Wolfe, sit in third at two-over. Boise State is four strokes behind GU in second at 21-over (589).
Gonzaga starts the third and final round at 7 a.m. Pacific Time. Live scoring is available on GoZags.com.
