Parisienne Perrine Delacour, who beat Elizabeth Mallett in the final of the British Under-18 girls open amateur championship at West Lancs GC in 2009, is leading the field by a shot at the end of the first round of the Suncoast Ladies Series 54-hole tournament over the Legends Course at LPGA International, Daytona Beach in Florida.
Perrine, pictured left by Cal Carson Golf Agency, is still an amateur and she won the inaugural irish Under-18 girls open amateur stroke-play earlier this year.
There are four French amateur players in all in the field.
England's Jodi Ewart from Middleham, Yorkshire is lying joint third with a 72.
Compatriot Anna Scott from Consett, County Durham is T18 on 74. Both Jodi and Anna were students at American colleges before they turned professional.
