AKRON, Ohio – The summer schedule continued for several Akron Zips women's golfers, with incoming freshman Danielle Nicholson closing day one of the PGA Junior Series event at Westbrook Country Club in Mansfield, Ohio.
Nicholson posted a round of 3-over 75 and is tied for third place with 36 holes to play. She is three shots behind tournament-leader Gina Kim, who posted an even-par 72 on Monday. Play will resume on Tuesday at 7:30 a.m. ET, with the third round slated for Wednesday.
The PGA Junior Series is to provide affordable and competitive playing opportunities for boys and girls between the ages of 12 and 18 throughout the country.
Sophomore Pader Her and incoming freshman Makayla Dull competed at the U.S. Women's Amateur at the Grosse Ile Golf & Country Club in Grosse Ile, Mich.
Her was in the hunt all day for a spot in next month's U.S. Women's Amateur, posting a round of 2-over 74. She fell just two shots shy of qualifying for one of the oldest championships in women's golf. The U.S. Women's Amateur has been held every year since 1895.
Dull finished the day with a round of 8-over 80.
