Rebel duo Kajsalotta Svarvar and Sophie Linder both shot an even par 70 on Monday and are tied for 20th. Svarvar began her round with five straight pars before a birdie at No. 6. The highlight of the day for the freshman from Halmstad, Sweden, came at No. 7. Svarvar holed out from the 95 yards out on the 495-yard, par-5, for an eagle. It was one of four eagles on the day for the field.
Linder began her day with a birdie on her first hole. After a bogey on No. 3 and 8, Linder birdied two par-3 holes at No. 9 and 12 to get in the red. A bogey on No. 16 and two pars to finish her round would put her in the clubhouse with a 70. Linder is second on the team in par-3 scoring (2.75).
Junior Nicole Gal's opening round of play would conclude with Gal sitting tied for 30th overall at 1-over par. After a bogey on No. 3 and 6, Gal was sitting at 2-over thru six holes, but responded with a birdie on the par-5, No. 7. She would go on to make par on seven holes on the back nine to go into the clubhouse with a 71.
