Pauline del Rosario and Dottie Ardina broke par while Clariss Guce shot even par at the start of the Four Winds Invitational in South Bend, Indiana Friday.
All three put themselves in a good position to make the cut.
Del Rosario, who missed the cut in her last five tournaments, collected five birdies, three off par-5 holes against three bogeys.
Her iron play left much to be desired but made only 25 putts to preserve her 2-under card.
Ardina, on the other hand, countered a double bogey with three birdies to get a share of 19th spot.
Guce carded a one-birdie, one-bogey 72 for joint 32nd.
The 54-hole $200,000 tournament serves as the 15th leg of the 21-stage farm league of the Ladies Professional Golf Association Tour.
