Fortuna, Go stay in US Girls hunt

Mikha Fortuna carded a one-over 72 while Lois Kaye Go turned in a 73 as they moved in contention at the start of the US Girls’ Junior Championship at the Boone Valley Golf Club in Augusta, Missouri on Monday (Tuesday in Manila).

Fortuna mixed three birdies with four bogeys for a 38-34 card at the par-71 layout as The Country Club bet joined four others at 19th, just four strokes behind Californian Mika Liu, who fired a four-under 67 to post a one-stroke lead over New Yorker Caroline Hodge and Brianna Navarrosa, also of California.
