The event features a field 50 players from the PKB Girls’ Golf Tour, the nation’s largest “girls’ only” junior tour with over 425 members in 2014 and over 340 girls playing in or committed to collegiate golf.

In the Bell Series after round one, Haeley Wotnosky (Wake Forest, NC 2018) is leading the field by one stroke at two over par with a score of 74. Not far behind Wotnosky there is a tie for second between Anna Chanthaphaeng (Boiling Springs, SC 2016) and Brynn Walker (St. Davids, PA 2016) who are both at three over par each with scores of 75.
