Each shoots 5-under 67 as Cougars post third-lowest team round in school history at 14-under 274
BOULDER CITY, Nev. – Junior Emilia Väistö and sophomore Sadie Adams each posted 5-under 67s tie for seventh and lead four Cougars under par following the First Round of The Clast at Boulder Creek at Boulder Creek Golf Club on Sunday evening.
Adams drained a team-high six birdies while Väistö sank five in a bogey-free round to tie for seventh after the first day. That duo was part of a Cougar group which had four student-athletes shoot under par with senior Daniela Campillo Martinez and sophomore Zoe McLean-Tattan each posting 2-under 70s on the 6,429-yard, par-72 course.
As a team, the Cougars enjoyed a score of 14-under 274, tying for the third-lowest team round in school history. It trailed only the 268 in the Final Round and the 272 in the First Round of the 2023 Sam Golden Invitational.
Houston stood in third place after the First Round trailing only Kansas (267) and Boise State (269). UTEP (277) and New Mexico State (279) rounded out the Top-Five leaders.
Starting off No. 1, Väistö made five straight pars to begin her day before making her first birdie at No. 6 and then closing her first nine with another on the 480-yard, par-5 ninth hole.
Väistö started her second nine with three straight pars and, following a birdie at No. 13, closed her day with two birdies over her final three holes. With her total, the Sienäjoki, Finland, native set a career low, topping her 68 done five times and most recently in the Final Round of the Schooner Fall Classic on Sept. 21.
Adams quickly moved into red numbers with two birdies in her first three holes and closed her first nine with two more birdies over the final three holes.
Following three straight pars, she sank her fifth birdie of the day at No. 13 before enduring her lone bogey on the next hole. Fortunately, the Burnley, Lancashire, England, native with her final birdie on the par-5 16th hole to better her career low by three strokes.
