Springfield, Pa. – Freshman Danielle Nicholson (Geneva, Ohio) finished the initial 18-hole round of stroke play at the U.S. Women's Amateur with a 4-over par 75 score on Monday, Aug. 1. In a field of 156 golfers at Rolling Green Golf Club, Nicholson and 16 others are currently tied for 87th overall.

"The course is very challenging," Nicholson said. "I was pleased when I made par on the first hole, it calmed my nerves. The greens are fast, and I tried to keep the ball below the hole every chance I could, but the false fronts on a lot of the greens made that difficult.
