Baete Opens Regional Play at Stanford



Nebraska All-Big Ten women’s golfer Kirsten Baete opened play at the NCAA Stanford Regional with a 75 on Monday in California.

The fifth-year senior from Beatrice, Neb., opened the round with a birdie on the 501-yard, par-5 first hole. After a bogey on No. 2, she converted six straight pars before a bogey on No. 9 sent her to the back nine at one-over par 36. After a par on No. 10, she took another bogey on No. 11 before a double-bogey on No. 12. She closed the round with six consecutive pars to finish at 75 (+4) on the 6,267-yard, par-71 layout of the Stanford Golf Course.

Baete’s opening round put her in an eight-way tie for 38th in the 66 golfer field after the first 18 holes.

LSU’s Latanna Stone successfully navigated the course with an opening-round 67 (-4) to take the top spot on the individual leader board. Stone owns a one-stroke lead over Iowa State’s Ruby Chou, who carded a 68 (-3) on Monday. Five golfers are tied at third with 69.

Stone’s strong opening round allowed No. 14 LSU to put up the best round of the day with a 279 (-5), while No. 12 USC sits in second just one shot back at 280 (-4). The hosts from No. 1 Stanford round out the top three teams at 283 (-1) in the 12-team field.

The NCAA Stanford Regional continues with Tuesday’s second round beginning at 10 a.m. (CT). Live scoring is available through GolfStat.com.
