Nealy, who birdied three of her first four holes, had five birdies, five bogeys and a double bogey on Friday. Her previous best round in Sunriver was a 76 on the first day of the tournament.
"It was really rewarding to see Johnna finish her career on a positive note," said Oregon coach Shannon Rouillard. "She represented Oregon well today."
