SCOTS TRAIL AFTER LPGA TOUR 

FINAL Q SCHOOL ROUND 1

Scots Sally Watson (77), Gemma Dryburgh (77) and Kylie Walker (81) have a lot of ground to make up after disappointing starts to the LPGA Tour's Final Qualifying School over five rounds at Daytona Beach, Florida.

The field of 156 players will be cut to the top 70 after four rounds.

Watson and Dryburgh are joint 126th while Walker is sharing 154th spot.

Mel Reid is the leading British player in joint sixth place with a 69 - two behind co-leaders Pannarat Thanapolboonyaras (Thailand) and American amateur Katelyn Dambaugh.

There will be a cut to the top 70 and ties after the fourth round and the final round will be contested on the Hills course. 
Players that finish in the top 20 - no ties - will earn LPGA Tour status in category 12 on the 2017 priority list while those that finish 21 through 45 - including ties - will earn status in category 17.
 Players that finish a minimum of 72 holes, but don’t earn LPGA Tour status, will receive Symetra Tour status in category E on the Symetra Tour priority list.
