Samantha (69) lying

second in Florida

Ascot's Samantha Head, pictured right, posted a three-under-par 69 in the first round of this week's SunCoast Ladies Series in Florida - but that was good enough only to tie her for second place, one shot behind Benedikte Grotvedt from Norway at Zellwood Station Golf Club.
