MSUB’s women’s golf team cards a 319 in its first round of the spring, opening strong at its home tournament at Pryor Creek Golf Club. HUNTLEY, Mont. – Snow flurries and sub-40 degree temperatures early in the day did not deter the Montana State University Billings women’s golf team in its opening round of the 2016 spring season, as the Yellowjackets shot a team score of 319 at the team’s home invitational Monday afternoon at Pryor Creek Golf Club. MSUB was led by freshman Anna DeMars, who shot a 76 and made birdie on the third hole. Fellow freshman Kortney McNeil finished third with a 77, and sophomores Bailee Dexter and Sammy Walter tied for fourth with scores of 83. Haley Shackelford was seventh with an 89, and Shealyn Hafer shot a 94 for the ‘Jackets. “It was nice to start at home, and it’s always nice to play a course that we are used to,” said DeMars. “My tee game was really strong and I hit a lot of fairways. My wedge game started off a little iffy, but then it came back and started working for me. I am excited for my next couple of years as a Yellowjacket.”
