🔥 Round 1 Leaderboard Update – And We’re Off! 🔥

One of our exciting new teams to the Westbrook Invitational, Arizona, is wasting no time making a statement — jumping out to an early lead at 9-under through 9 holes in Round 1! 🐾💥

Right behind Arizona is a past champion K-State at -8. and just back in third is another event newcomer, Georgia, sitting strong at -7. Meanwhile, Mizzou are holding steady in 4th at -5 as the competition heats up.

On the individual side, it’s been nothing short of electric ⚡

Sara Vitasek of Arizona and Noa van Beek are on an absolute tear, 6 under through their first 9 holes! They lead by just one over Arizona player Kinsley Ni at -5. The twist? Kinsley is competing as an individual, meaning her score won’t count toward the team total, a small sigh of relief for the rest of the field 😅

And we’ve already had fireworks on the course! 🎯
Natchanun "Inje" Suntiwattanapol of Colorado State recorded the first eagle of the tournament on the Par-4 15th! 🦅

Keep your eyes glued to the leaderboard — in college golf, especially with a shotgun start, things can change fast. One swing can flip the entire board!

Stay tuned… this is just getting started. 👀⛳🔥

Sunday's Competition Format – How It Works

• Shotgun Start at 8:30 AM – All players will begin simultaneously from different holes, ensuring continuous action across the course.
• 36 Holes, Back-to-Back – Unlike traditional events with a break between rounds, these athletes will play straight through the first and second rounds, making endurance and strategy key factors.
• Team & Individual Leaderboards Begin to Take Shape – By the end of Sunday, we’ll have a much clearer picture of which teams and individuals are in contention heading into the final round on Monday.

What to Watch For:

• Kansas, 2025 and 2024 team champions, return to defend their title, currently ranked #37 in the nation! They also have Ebba Norstedt returning who has played well here in the past and is ranked #66 in the nation.
• The University of Arizona Wildcats are new to the Westbrook Invitational and are currently ranked #23 in nation. They are bringing Charlotte Back who is currently ranked #21 in the nation.
• K-State, currently ranked #26 in the nation
