NC State's Lauren Olivares Leon becomes first woman to shoot 60 in college golf history

North Carolina State's Lauren Olivares Leon made college golf history in the opening round of the Cougar Classic, becoming the first woman to shoot 60. The round of 11 under at Yeamans Hall Club included 13 birdies and two bogeys. A total of 17 men have shot 60 in collegiate events.

Olivares Leon, a junior from Mexico who is 182nd in the World Amateur Golf Ranking, began the day on the 10th hole with birdie. She birdied the last two holes of the back nine to make the turn in 32, and then shot 28 on the front nine with eight birdies.

That is well done Lauren. Congrats on you NCAA record!!

Lauren Olivares Leon shot an NCAA record 60 (-11) to highlight the Pack's 2023-24 season debut at the Cougar Classic.

The Wolfpack junior's score marks the lowest 18-hole mark in NCAA history and ties the NCAA record for comparison to par. Olivares Leon opened her campaign with a total of 13 birdies in the first round of action at Yeamans Hall, firing eight of those in a row and 10 in her last 11 holes. Her final 13 holes of round one were bogey free.

Olivares Leon heads into her third season with the Pack after setting program records in the following categories as a sophomore last year: lowest 54-hole score (208, -8) at the NCAA Raleigh Regional, lowest 18-hole postseason score (67, -5) in the first round of regional action, best individual regional finish in NC State history (second place).

Following her record-setting performance, she and the rest of the Pack headed back out to play the second round which was suspended due to weather. The teams will resume round two at 8:30 a.m. on Tuesday and will then immediately go into third-round action.

NC State heads into the back half of the tournament in eighth place as a team, and Olivares Leon continues to hold a one-shot lead over Laney Frye of Kentucky.
