Oct. 9, 2009
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - Linda Persson and Stine Pedersen both turned in top-10 performances following Friday's first round of the LPGA International Xavier Invitational at the LPGA International Legend's Course. Persson's 70 placed her in a tie for first with Teresa Urquizu of Campbell as they were among just four players in the 81-player field to complete the par 72, 6.087-yard layout under par. The LU senior played the par fours at 2-under-par - the lowest in the tournament. Pederson, who was named the Southland Conference's Golfer of the Month for September, matched Persson with four birdies on the day as she sits in a tie for ninth. The Lamar quintet combined to shoot 305 and finds itself in seventh place with two rounds to play. Daytona State College is in first after shooting a 295, with Campbell in second at 298, Augusta State in third at 299, Xavier in fourth at 301 and South Dakota State in fifth at 303.
