Beeli wasted no time in climbing the leaderboard on Tuesday, dropping five birdies and 10 pars in her first 15 holes to take the lead. Despite her lone setback bogey on the 16th hole, the talented freshman did not waver, sinking a birdie putt on the final green to walk away with the win. Beeli led the field in total birdies with 15 and paced the group in par-3 scoring with an average of 2.67 as she played the par 3s at 5-under-par.
