There is a six-way playoff for the final match-play spot. The playoff will start on the 367-yard 12th, a tricky hole with water running down the entire left side from tee to green. If additional holes are necessary, the playoff will follow the rest of the course to the 18th.
The six players vying for the opportunity to face medalist Brenda Pictor in the first round are Mickey Burgess, Carolyn Creekmore, Amber Marsh Elliott, Julie Massa, Claudia Pilot and Lisa Schlesinger.
The sextet includes two individual USGA champions. Marsh Elliott captured the 2003 Women's Mid-Amateur and Creekmore was victorious in the 2004 Senior Women's Amateur. Pilot was part of the Minnesota team that won the 2001 Women's State Team.
The first hole has been completed:
Creekmore: 4
Schlesinger: 5
Burgess: 6
