KAILUA-KONA, Hawai'i – Amanda Minni fired a 3-under 70 to lead the Oregon State women's golf team in the first round of the Nanea Pac-12 Preview on Monday.
 
The Beavers got off to a solid start, shooting a 1-under 291 at the par-73, 6,449-yard Nanea Golf Club to put them in seventh place in the competitive 12-team field.
 
The second round of the three-day, 54-hole tournament begins at 10:30 a.m. PT on Tuesday with a shotgun start. Live scoring is available at golfstat.com.
