KONA, Hawai'i – The Oregon State women's golf team got off to a great start at the Pac-12 Preview on Monday and sits in fourth place in a field that includes seven nationally-ranked teams.

The Beavers shot a 5-over 297 in the opening round and a 16-over 308 in the afternoon to finish the day with a 21-over 605 at the par-73, 6,372-yard Nanea Golf Club.

No. 3 Stanford leads the two-day, 54-hole tournament with an 8-over 592, while No. 20 Arizona State and No. 30 Arizona are tied for second with a 10-over 594.

Oregon State is ahead of four ranked teams with 18 holes to play -- No. 46 Oregon (sixth, 26-over 610), No. 26 California and No. 1 UCLA (tied for seventh, 28-over 612) and No. 45 Colorado (ninth, 31-over 615).
