W. Golf Completes First Round of Silverado Showdown

NAPA, Calif. -- Sara Kjellker is tied in 13th place to lead the San Diego State women's golf team Monday in the first round of the Silverado Showdown. Kjellker carded a 1-over-par 73 on the par-72, 6,202-yard Silverado Golf Club.
 
Starting on the 10th hole, Kjellker played her front nine at 1-under 35 with a birdie on the par-4, 367-yard 14th hole and eight pars. Kjellker, however, bogeyed the par-4, 381-yard first and par-4, 309-yard fourth before getting one back with a birdie on the par-4, 344-yard eighth. A bogey on the par-5, 491-yard ninth gave her a 2-over 38 for her back nine and 73 for the day. She is tied with seven others for 13th.
 
One shot behind Kjellker is Bernice Olivarez Ilas in a tie for 21st. Ilas had three birdies on the day, including the par-4, 375-yard 10th, the par-3, 148-yard second and No. 8, to offset three bogeys. Unfortunately, a double bogey on the ninth - her final hole - kept Ilas from an even-par round.
 
Anna Lina Otten (8-over 80), Andrea Gomez (9-over 81) and April Ranches (12-over 84) will look to improve on their first day today. Otten is tied for 66th, Gomez is tied for 70th and Ranches is in 73rd. Otten was the only one of the three to record a birdie, posting one on the par-3, 138-yard 11th and then on No. 14.
 
As a team, the Aztecs are 13th out of 13 teams at 20-over 308. No. 31 UCLA leads the way after an even-par 288, while Washington (+2), No. 13 USC (+3), No. 44 Oregon State (+3) and No. 10 Arizona State (+4) round out the top 5.
 
SDSU begins round two at 8 a.m. PT Tuesday on the 10th hole.
