The Portland, Oregon native was 1-over at the turn before birdieing four of the last nine holes to finish tied for fifth and make the 10-player cut at even.
The sophomore is no stranger to the national scene as she qualified for many tournaments during her prep at Sunset High School. She qualified for the 2016 US Women's Amateur Four-Ball with CSU teammate Jessica Sloot and also won the Pacific
Northwest Junior PGA title at the U.S. Junior Girls Amateur championship.
