O’Keefe and Pancake Share the Lead at The Texas Women’s Open

ARGYLE, TX – Two players are tied for the lead at the 2022 Texas Women’s Open. Annabelle Pancake (a) and Farah O’Keefe (a) share the lead at 7-under-par. Round two was suspended due to darkness at 8:25 p.m. and will resume at 7:30 a.m. tomorrow.

O’Keefe, who celebrates her 17th birthday on Monday, fired 34-34–68, 4-under-par to jump into a tie for the lead. Speaking on her second round she said, “I came back to the course thinking I really had to hammer down on those six-footers, and today I was able to make a couple more of those. I made a lot of putts today and my head was in the right place.”

O’Keefe has experience in pressure situations. Last summer she made her LPGA Tour debut at the Volunteers of America Classic, where she made the cut. She also led Austin Anderson High School to a 5A State Championship last month.

Annabelle Pancake who held the lead after round one was able to complete 12 holes before play was suspended. She will finish her second round tomorrow morning. “My mindset is to just go out there and have fun. Today my putting wasn’t as good, the greens felt a little slower. Hopefully by tomorrow morning I will be able to find that mojo again,” said Pancake.

After the second round is completed the field will be cut to the top 50 and players and ties. Those making the cut will be repaired by score for the final round, which is scheduled to begin at 12:00 p.m.

This year's Championship features an overall purse of $50,000. Of the total purse $47,000 will be awarded to the professionals that make the cut and $3,000 to the amateurs in the form of gift certificates.
