Summary Cheyenne Woods, the niece of Tiger Woods, is in search of a spot in the British Open.
LONDON (AFP) - Cheyenne Woods, the niece of Tiger Woods, kept herself in reach of a spot at the British Open on Friday when she fired a five under par in the European Masters first round.
The 23-year-old Woods is chasing one of three places available this weekend to qualify for next week s major at St Andrews.
Her 67 put her in sixth place, four shots behind joint leaders Caroline Masson, who carded a tournament record nine-under, and South African Ashleigh Simon, who only returned from a hip injury two months ago.
"I felt like I played really steady. One bogey, I felt like I hit the ball well so overall it was a good day," said Woods, who celebrated her 23rd birthday on Thursday.
"I definitely learned last week through experiencing it, so this week I feel really good. I m just going to continue to play steady and not worry about today s round. Tomorrow is a new day and I ll just continue my strong play the rest of the week."
