RCA Electric Fall Invitational Results (Round 1)

MONTEREY, Calif. – Making their TPC Monterey at Pasadera debut for their own RCA Electric Fall Invitational on Monday, Menlo Women's Golf put a pair of Oaks in the tournament's top 11 to start. After pace of play shortened the first day of action to a single round, Menlo currently finds themselves battling with Hawaii Pacific for fourth overall.

Menlo Six Strokes Back Of Fourth-Place Hawaii Pacific
Sophomore Kim Penzold began the day parring her first 14 holes and, with two more thereafter, she finished in a three-way tie for second place at a 3-over-par 74. Two birdies at either end of her round helped freshman Zihe "Clara" Yuan stay in the hunt for spot among the top 10 as her 8-over-par 79 put her tied with three others for 11th overall.

One of just three competitors to log an eagle in the round, sophomore Ester Otiepkova did so on Hole 1 and now holds onto a tie for 21st after her 11-over-par 82 also featured a birdie. Fellow sophomore Laura Goertzen birdied late in her round to settle into 26th overall at 13-over-par 84.
