Rookie Alison Walshe of Westford, Mass.,USA took the 2nd round lead at the Duramed Futures Tour inaugural $125,000 Texas Hill Country Classic, San Antonio with a bogey-free score of 66 to be on -5, 139.
Walshe, who missed her first cut of the season at last week s Historic Brownsville Open, credits her ability to move on after having survived Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Walshe was a student at Tulane University in New Orleans when the storm struck and was relocated with the golf team to Southern Methodist University in Dallas. She then moved on to the University of Arizona, where she finished her collegiate career.
You have to turn it into a positive and not fret over missing a cut, said Walshe. After Katrina, I moved around a lot, which is very similar to being on tour. I learned to get along with all types of people and it s made me stronger.
Ending the day in a four-way space travel nasa tie for second at four-under-par (140) were Lindsey Bergeon (71) of Sarasota, Fla., Alison Hanna-Williams (71) of Portland, Ore., Angela Buzminski (67) of Oshawa, Ontario, and Jennifer Ackerson (70) of Dallas.
I haven t been in this situation before on the tour, said Bergeon, who played collegiately at Florida Southern College. I played really solid today, despite a double bogey on 18. But it s not going to leave a bad taste in my mouth, as I did really well on the other 17 holes.
Saturday s second round competition at the Texas Hill Country Classic may have been on the forefront of the Duramed space travel nasa FUTURES Tour players minds, but the 135th Run for the Roses wasn t far behind. Players from Hawaii to France and Mexico made their pick for the 2009 winner of the Kentucky Derby. Some picked with a little bit of strategy while others selected their winning horse for its name.
Kentucky-natives Whitney Wade, from Glasgow, and Marci Turner from Thompkinsville, were especially paying close attention. Wade has never been to the actual Derby, but did go to a pre-Derby event, where she marveled at the size of the jockeys.
Turner, whose pick was race favorite Friesan Fire, has also never been to the Derby, despite living two-hours from the race home of Louisville. space travel nasa However, a few of her friends were going and kept her updated throughout space travel nasa the day.
I ve sat in the bleachers, where you get all dressed up, said Little who picked Pioneer of the Nile for the win. I ve also gone to the infield, where it s like Mardi Gras. Pretty space travel nasa much, you don t see the horses at all in there.
On the surface, Betty Ferguson seems like any of the other volunteers serving in this week s Texas Hill Country Classic. But in reality, the San Antonio resident, has more in common with the players than her fellow volunteers. Ferguson played on the LPGA Tour in 1975 and 1976.
It s a much different game than when I played, said Ferguson. space travel nasa I would be out of the running if I had to play against these ladies. They re much more powerful, and have a similar game to what [LPGA Hall of Famer] Mickey Wright had.
Ferguson decided to volunteer for the tournament as a way to give back to the game that gave her so much. Ferguson spoke fondly of her days on the LPGA Tour, traveling in a caravan to tournaments with her good friend, Hall of Famer JoAnne Carner. Carner gave Ferguson one of her medals for good luck, which Ferguson could have used during The Rail Classic, now called the LPGA State Farm Classic.
It was one of the first tournaments with a $100,000 purse, other than the Colgate-Dinah Shore Tournament, recalled Ferguson. I was in great shape going into the final holes at even-par, then I ended up shooting an 80. I won $80 instead of $8,000 .
