Southern Utah University golfer Poy Prasurtwong made six birdies in a seven-hole stretch Monday, taking the first-round lead in the 113th Women’s State Amateur with a 4-under-par 68 at Logan Country Club.
A senior from Thailand, Prasurtwong started her round on the back nine and was 2 over when she came to No. 17, playing as a par-5 this week. She birdied the last two holes on that side and added four more birdies on the first five holes of the front nine on her way to a three-stroke lead over Lone Peak High School graduate Kerstin Fotu.
