The first day of Q-School is in the books as 140 golfers grind their way through 72 holes before a cutdown to the top 70. Then after 18 more holes, the top 40 receive LPGA status - with the top 20 receiving the coveted "Priority List Category 11" status.
Leading after the first 18 holes is Japan's Shiho Oyama who opened up with a 8 under par 64. Former Duramed Futures Tour player Mollie Fankhauser, from Columbus, OH, is tied for 3rd place with a 5-under 67.
Players from last year's Duramed Championship are spread throughout the field after day one. Our 2009 winner, Stephanie Otteson, opened with a 75 - which is only 2 strokes away from the Top 70 cut number. Jessica Shepley, our second place finisher this year, opened with a 76.
Other players of interest include Maru Martinez at 70, Liz Stuart at 74, Yoora Kim at 71, and Sam Richdale at 72.
After tomorrow's round, we'll provide a list of where all 2009 Duramed Championship participants find themselves after 36 holes.
