UCO Second After Opening Round In Edmond

Central Oklahoma Hosting Grace Shin Invitational Presented By Visit Edmond

EDMOND – Central Oklahoma is in second place after the first round of play at the 2025 Grace Shin Invitational presented by Visit Edmond.

The Bronchos shot a 4-over-par 288 after one trip around The Golf Club of Edmond's 5,922-yard Par 71 course. Central Missouri leads the team standings after an even-par 284. Arkansas Tech is third at 292, Northwest Missouri is fourth at 297, and Southwestern Oklahoma State rounded out the top five with a 299.

UCO freshman Grace Hall is tied for second individually after the Austin, Texas native shot a 3-under-par 68 on Monday. UCM's Mia Rallo shot a 5-under 66 to take the lead. Hall started her day with back-to-back birdies on the first two holes. She was even after the front nine, but then birdied No. 10 to get back in the red. Hall added birdies on No. 15 and finished the day with another on No. 18 to reach 3-under.

Hall led the Bronchos two weeks ago in Texas with an opening round 1-under. Monday marked the first round in the 60s of her young season. Her five birdies on Monday also topped the four she made in the opening round two weeks ago.

Scarlet Sturch shot a 1-over 72 on Monday and is in the top 10 individually at ninth place. She sank three birdie putts including her final hole, No. 2, to reach 72.

Layne Ailshie and MaKaylee Cowan both shot 3-over 74s on Monday and are together tied for 21st individually. Ailshie made two birdie putts and Cowan made one. Estela Castillo was also in the lineup for the Bronchos and shot a 4-over 75 that included a birdie on No. 10.

The Bronchos had two players competing as individuals and freshman Reagan Plank of Owasso made her collegiate debut with a 1-under 70. Plank started on 18 with a par then sank back-to-back birdies on the first and second holes. She was 3-under after No. 8 and had two bogeys to get back to 1-under. Faith Principato also made her college debut and shot a 9-over-par 80, with two birdies.

Central Oklahoma will look to close the gap with Central Missouri Tuesday morning in the second and final round. All players will begin with a shotgun start at 9 a.m.
