MADISON, Wisconsin – Boosted by under-par rounds from Virginia Elena Carta and Ana Belac, the top-seeded Duke University women’s golf team turned in a five-under total of  283, and is second overall through 18 holes at the NCAA Madison Regional. 

The Blue Devils carded 19 birdies on the day at the 6,313-yard, par 72 University Ridge Golf Course in Madison, Wisconsin.

Virginia University posted a nine-under-par 279 total to lead after the opening round by four shots from Duke (283).  Southern California (285), Arizona State (288), Oregon State (289), Wisconsin (290), Illinois (292), Ohio State (293), Northwestern (294), Old Dominion (295) and Ohio State (295) rounded out the top 10 teams.

Seeing action in only her third tournament of the spring, Carta from Italy matched a season best with six birdies and a four-under 68. 

 

“I think my long game was pretty good, pretty consistent,” commented Carta.  “It is definitely the best part of my game usually.  Today was pretty good.  I also rolled in some putts and that helped with the result.”

 

Carta had the best start for the day with three birdies over her first seven holes to move to three-under. 

 

Belac, from Slovenia, carded a two-under 70 after hitting 14 greens, 11 fairways and had 30 putts. 

 

Freshman Jaravee Boonchant from Thailand is tied 19th with a par 72. She hit 11 greens, 10 fairways and a team-best 29 putts.  The even par score was her fourth straight of even or under par. 

 

With a season-best four birdies, senior Lisa Maguire signed for a one-over 73.  She opened with bogeys on Nos 1, 4 and 6, but regrouped and played her final 12 holes at two-under-par. 
Lisa rolled in her first birdie of the day on No. 9 from 12 feet to make the turn with a 38. 
She added a bogey on No. 10 and four-foot birdie on No. 11.  Maguire sandwiched a bogey in-between two pars on holes 12-14, before registering back-to-back birdies on Nos 15 and 16.  She sank a four-foot birdie on the 15^th and drained a 25ft birdie putt on the 16^th to move her score to one-over-par. 
Lisa hit seven of nine back-nine greens in regulation. For the day, she hit 11 greens, four fairways and had 30 putts. 

 

Senior Leona Maguire posted a two-over 74 which included three birdies.  Maguire birdied three of the five par-5sand lipped out for birdie on No. 18.  The round of 74 did not count for the Blue Devils, which snapped a streak of 115 counting rounds by the former No. 1 ranked amateur in the world.
