In the Open Women's division, Valarie Jenkins continued to dominate, posting a respectable round of +2 on the day to push her total score to +3 for the tournament.

Paige Pierce and Liz Lopez have their work cut out for them if they hope to mount a challenge on Jenkins' lead. Pierce turned in a respectable round of +5, while Lopez slipped back with a +9, leaving her at +13 for the tournament. If these two can muster the necessary firepower, it could set up an exciting conclusion to the competition.
