Hahn, Wagner Lead After First Round of U.S. Women’s Amateur Championship

PORTLAND, Ore. – Jennifer Hahn and Samantha Wagner both returned rounds of 4-under 68 and are tied for the lead following the first round of stroke play in the 2015 U.S. Women’s Amateur Championship, being conducted at the 6,360-yard, par-72 Portland Golf Club.

Hahn, 21, of Henderson, Nev., carded an opening birdie on the par-5 10th, her first hole, but three straight bogeys put her in an early hole. She responded with six birdies over her remaining 14 holes to earn a spot atop the leader board.

“I just thought of it as a brand new opportunity, a brand new nine, so I just stuck to my game plan,” said Hahn, a rising senior at Vanderbilt University. “My approach shots were better and the putts were dropping.”

Wagner, 18, of Windermere, Fla., also started on No. 9 and played her first nine holes at even par. Her inward nine, however, was a different story. Four birdies brought the incoming University of Florida freshman into the clubhouse tied for the lead.

“I hit 14 greens today, and I kept giving myself opportunities,” said Wagner, who competed in her first U.S. Women’s Open last month at Lancaster (Pa.) Country Club. “I think I just kind of got into a rhythm.”
