CORVALLIS, Ore. – Ellie Slama made the cut at the Cambia Portland Classic and will play the weekend in her first-ever LPGA event.
Slama, a rising junior from Salem, Ore., shot rounds of 68 and 69 at the par-72, 6,478-yard Columbia Edgewater Country Club to give her a 7-under 137 heading into the weekend.
She had five birdies and one bogey in the first round and six birdies and three bogies in the second round. Slama is the top amateur on the leaderboard.
"It means a lot making the cut at my first LPGA tournament, especially since it is close to home," Slama said.
