At the end of this 1^er turn, 2 players share the head of the classification with the nice scores of 3 shots under par. First of all, the Finnish proette Sanna NUUTINEN who has long dominated the classification before 2 bogeys at 14 and 16. This very promising young player of 24 years went professional last year and this week discovers the Emerald Coast. The co-leader is the young 19 year old German Olivia COWAN, 25^rd in the World Amateur Ranking, which notably signed 4 birdies and 1 eagle this Thursday.

On the side of the favorites, things were more complicated but they are still completely in the race. Caroline Afonso, ambassador of the title partner of the tournament, signed a card of 71 (+2) just like the defending champion Valentine DERREY, sometimes in lack of success in putting. Always on the French side, Sophie GIQUEL BETTAN finishes at 70, after a very nice reaction at the end of the course with 2 consecutive birdies on holes 17 and 18. Definitely, 71 seems to be the score of the day, it is also what has directed Isabella RAMSEY, winner of the GENERALI ladies tour 2014.

This first day was also marked by the good performance of the amateur Lauralie MIGNEAUX, first French of the day with a beautiful card of 68 (-1) and temporarily occupies the 5^rd place of the ranking.

The suspense is already present at the end of the first day where many questions arise? Will the favorites come back to the top players? Will the young co-leader resist the pressure? So many answers that we will get tomorrow at the end of the second round.

We look forward to seeing you tomorrow for the second round of the Open Generali in Dinard!
