  GLEN COVE, N.Y. – After finishing 33rd at the Junior PGA Championship Friday in Texas, Sarah Burnham headed east and leads a trio of Minnesotans at the U.S. Women’s Amateur, shooting 4-over par 74 during the opening round Monday at Nassau Country Club.

Burnham, Wayzata, Minn., sits tied for 50th place after the opening round at 4-over par, while Minnesota Gopher Anna Laorr, Eden Prairie, Minn., finished her opening round tied for 103rd at 77. Cassie Deeg, Hugo, Minn., finished Monday's first round tied for 120th at 79. 

Burnham carded a 3-over par 38 on the opening nine holes with a double bogey at the par-3 fifth hole, and a bogey on the following hole.

With two birdies at the 12th and 14th holes, Burnham would fall to 5-over for the round before making birdie on the 16th to finish the day at 74.

Laorr opened her round with three bogeys on the front side to shoot 3-over, before heading to the back nine where she would be unable to settle in, making four bogeys to finish the day at 7-over par 77.

Deeg got things started early with a birdie on her opening hole as she began her round on the 10th tee. She fell back to even with a bogey on the 12th before making the turn at 1-under with a second birdie at the 14th.

Deeg would struggle over the final nine holes rolling in five bogeys with two double-bogeys to finish the day at 79.

The U.S. Women’s Amateur Championship continues Tuesday with tee times beginning at 6:30 a.m. at Nassau Country Club.
