University of Jamestown carded a 47-over 335 Tuesday to open the NAIA women's golf national championship in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla.
Savanna Nesemeier had a little trouble closing out her day at PGA National, after flirting with the top 10 early. The Jimmie senior was 2-over through 13 holes but went plus 8 the final five to wrap up her opening round tied for 71st at 82.
Jamestown's Annie Nelson (83), Paige Argent (84) and Alexis Piatz (86) all finished closely behind Nesemeier. The Jimmies currently sit 22nd of 30 teams.
Savannah College of Art and Design-Savannah is in the lead at 12 over (300), with Corinne Grans-Wood leading individually at an even-par 72. Round 2 begins Wednesday morning, May 23, at 7:15 a.m.
