LPGA veteran Kim Kaufman is setting the pace at Q-Series.
Kaufman shot a 6-under 65 Wednesday to take the first-round lead in what feels like a marathon for the 98 players who are at Pinehurst Resort in North Carolina looking to win LPGA tour cards for 2020. She’s two shots ahead of Lauren Coughlin and Brianna Do and three ahead of a pack of seven players that includes Emma Talley and Celine Herbin.
The third and final stage of the LPGA Qualifying Tournament is scheduled to be contested over 144 holes, with the first 72 played at Pinehurst No.
