Song, Feng lead LPGA Tour Qualifying Tournament (The Associated Press)

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) -- Christine Song and China's Simin Feng each shot 7-under 65 on Wednesday to share the first-round lead in the LPGA Tour Qualifying Tournament.

Song and Feng opened on LPGA International's Jones Course. South Korea's Julie Yang was third after a 66 on the Hills Course, and Cydney Clanton had a 67 on the Jones Course.

The top 20 finishers Sunday will earn full LPGA Tour cards, and Nos. 21-45 and ties will receive conditional status.

Song, from Fullerton, California, made seven starts on the LPGA Tour this year while recovering from a back injury.
