LPGA TOUR Q-School Underway in Florida

Calgary's Cindy Pasechnick, one of seven Canadians competing for an LPGA TOUR card for the 2009 season, managed to shoot 1-under par 71 for a share of 17th place in the opening round of the 90-hole qualifying-school tournament at Daytona Beach, Florida Wednesday.

Shiho Oyama of Japan, has an early two-stroke lead after carding a 9-under par 62.

Hawaii's 19-year-old Michaelle Wie came through with a 3-under par 69 and is tied for sixth place.

The five-day qualifier is being played on both the Legends and Champions courses at LPGA International, with a 72-hole cut to the low-70 players and ties. Those players will then compete on Sunday on the Champions course for the final 18 holes of play.

The top 20 players at the conclusion of the event will earn Priority List Category 11. In the event of a tie, a playoff will decide the 20th position. Players finishing in the 21st through 30th spots will earn Priority List Category 16, followed by 31st to 40th, who will receive Priority List Category 20.
