Vodry Leads After Round One of the Destination Grapevine Texas Women’s Open

GRAPEVINE, Texas (May 27, 2026) – Samantha Vodry of Sherman, TX, leads after round one of the Destination Grapevine Texas Women’s Open. Vodry fired a bogey-free, 8-under-par round of 33-31–64 and holds a two-stroke lead over three players that include defending champion Sadie Englemann, Angela Stanford, and Sera Hasegawa.
Vodry made six birdies in a row spanning from her fifth to tenth hole. She started her round today on hole 10. When asked about this stretch, Vodry said, “I was just making a lot of long putts. I was giving myself a lot of opportunities with the approach shots, and then my line was dialed with speed. Got lucky on a couple, but it was really fun.”
This is Vodry’s sixth time playing in the Championship, with last year’s seventh-place finish being her best result. She also has a top 10 finish on the Epson Tour this year.
Her mindset for tomorrow is, “stick to the plan, just hit fairways, hope the irons are dialed, and make some more putts like I did today.”
2026 Team USA Solheim Cup captain Angela Stanford carded a 33-33–66 to finish at 6-under-par. Stanford, a Fort Worth, TX, native and former Ewing Automotive NTPGA Junior Tour member, is playing in the Championship for the fourth straight year.
Defending champion Sadie Englemann finished at 6-under-par after her bogey-free, 32-34–66. Englemann has her sights set on a repeat and has put herself in a good position to make a run.
Rounding out those tied for second, recent Baylor alum Sera Hasegawa of Waco, TX, shot 34-32–66. This is Hasegawa’s first appearance in the Destination Grapevine Texas Women’s Open.
Round two will begin tomorrow morning at 7:30 a.m. with tee times beginning on the #1 and #10 tees. After the conclusion of round two, the field will be cut to the low 50 players and ties.
The field is competing for an $80,000 Championship purse with the champion earning $13,000 for their victory on Friday. The top two finishers will earn exemptions into the Epson Tour’s Island Resort Championship.
