Leigha Devine had a consistent day on the course, shooting a 1-over 73 with 15 pars to wrap up the opening round in a tie for 17th. She birdied No. 4 to highlight her round. 

“It was exciting to get my last conference championship started,” Devine said. “The course is awesome and my goal today was to go out and see what was possible. I didn’t roll in as many putts as I would’ve liked but I feel good going into tomorrow. We all made a few mistakes out here that we’ll try and clean up in round two.”
