Gonzaga’s Victoria Fallgren is just one stroke off the lead after Monday’s first day of stroke play at the U.S. Women’s Amateur Public Links in Neshanic Station, N.J.

Fallgren shot a 3-under 69, good for a three-way tie for third place.

Bulldogs teammate Tai Jade Kliebphipat shot a 2-over 72 and is in a 19-way tie for 55th place. The top 64 golfers in the field of 156 will advance to match play after today’s final 18 holes of stroke play.
