Eva Heinz shot a blistering 10-under 62 in the opening round of the Yellowstone Intercollegiate on Monday to lead the Montana State golf team to the top of the leaderboard after 36 holes of competition at Riverside Country Club.

Heinz sunk nine birdies in the first round and capped off the opening 18 holes with an eagle to finish the round 10-under par. Her score of 62 broke the Montana State program record by four strokes, also helping her shatter the Big Sky Conference record for low 18-hole round.

Heinz’s effort helped the Bobcats top the team leaderboard on day one of competition. The Cats carded rounds of 282 and 285 for a 36-hole score of 9-under 567 and will head into day three with an eight-stroke lead over second-place Cal State Northridge, which finished the day at 1-under 575.
