Shepherd falls behind Q-Series pack
After a strong start, playing her first seven holes in 2 under par, Center Grove grad Erica Shepherd hit some potholes during her second round of LPGA Q-Series play in Venice, Florida on Wednesday, finishing with a 2-over 74. Shepherd bogeyed the par-4 eighth hole and the par-3 11th, then went double bogey-bogey on 13 and 14 to go to plus-3 for the day before getting one shot back with a birdie on 16.
Shepherd is now tied for 71st in the 194-player field at the midway point. The top 35 players plus ties after Friday will advance to the final 1stage of the Q-Series in December.
