Behind aces by Rachel Heck and Caroline Sturdza, top-ranked Cardinal in command at The Farms
Heck aced the par 3, 141-yard, 14th hole in the morning round en route to a first-round 70, Rose Zhang, the world's top female amateur who's in search of her fourth consecutive individual title, and sophomore Sadie Englemann opened with 3-under rounds of 69 to lead the Cardinal to an 8-under first round of 280, which was seven shots clear of Arizona State and San Jose State.
The Cardinal had not had a hole-in-one since April 8, 2019, a span of almost three years since Aline Krauter's ace at the Silverado Showdown. Krauter is not in the Card's lineup this week after participating in the LET's Magical Kenya Ladies Open, where she made the cut.🚨 HOLE IN ONE FOR CARO 🚨
