Main Story

Kelly Hope led Oregon State with a 4-under 142 as the Beavers opened the Nanea Invitational in seventh place. Poor weather expected later in the week compressed the 11-team tournament’s first two rounds into Monday, leaving one round to play Tuesday. Oregon State finished at 5 under and is competing against five teams ranked in the nation’s top 16.

Yes, But

Hope’s strong opening puts her in the top 12, but Oregon State is seventh in a competitive field that includes five top-16 teams. The compressed schedule also means the tournament’s final round follows immediately on Tuesday.

What’s Next

The final round is scheduled to begin Tuesday at 10:30 a.m. PT with a shotgun start.

Bottom Line

Oregon State got solid contributions across its lineup, but will need a strong final round to climb from seventh against a nationally ranked field.
