Lopes freshman Maguire tied fo 17th in 1st collegiate tournament
UNIVERSITY PLACE, Wash. – With the second-most pars and the third-least bogeys for the day, Grand Canyon sits fourth out of 16 schools in the season-opening tournament at The Leadership and Golf Invitational at Chambers Bay.
Haines highlighted the first round with a 2-under score over her final six holes, finishing even par with a 1-under front nine total. Maguire showed poise in her first tournament, coming back from three straight bogeys with three birdies over the stretch of four holes to finish 1 under in the first round.
GCU freshman Alexis Vakasiuola, the younger sister of 2024-25 All-WAC second-team Lope Alyzzah Vakasiuola, had three birdies while sophomore teammate Allie Justiz matched that total Monday..
It was Tremouille who made the jump up the leaderboard and helped guide the Lopes into the top five, carding an even-par second round that included a 1-under back nine. Tremouille began her day on hole eight and tallied eight straight pars to open her round before a birdie on 16 put her score in red.
GCU totaled 105 pars, tied for second most in the field and only one back from Long Beach State. The squad's 35 bogeys were third lowest over two rounds, while its 3.11 scoring average on par-4 holes was tied for fourth best for the day.
Third and final-round action concludes Tuesday at 8 a.m.
