Sophomore Andrea Lee shot a collegiate-best 6-under-par 66 to open the NCAA San Francisco Regional Championships at TPC Harding Park on Monday.

The bogey-free round put Lee in a three-way for first among individuals with Colorado’s Brittany Fan and UCLA’s Mariel Galdiano, and the Stanford women's golf team is tied for fourth, at 1-under, among the 18-team field.

UCLA (-8) had three players under par as the top-ranked Bruins grabbed the first-round lead.

Lee was 1-under through six, and proceeded to string together three straight birdies to sit at 4-under heading into the turn. She went on to birdie the par-5 12th and par-4 16th, with pars on the final two holes to keep the scorecard clean.

"What a great round by Andrea," Cardinal coach Anne Walker said. "She’s been working on several aspects of her game, and to see it all come together today was great for our team."
