Áine Donegan played the round of her life to become one of the early pace-setters at the US Women's Open at Pebble Beach.
Only 21, the Lahinch amateur made a last minute decision to compete in a 36-hole qualifier in San Francisco for the prestigious major.
She got through that and, despite suffering the setback of her clubs being delayed in transit - and a broken driver head - Donegan is well in the mix after shooting a three under par 69 in her first round of major tournament golf.
