Two veteran members of the LPGA Tour earned their way into the State Farm Classic when they took the top spots in the Monday qualifying round at Panther Creek Country Club. Ashli Bunch, a Tennessean who joined the tour in 1999, fired a 6- under-par 66 to lead the nine-player field on Monday. Thursday's opening round will mark her first appearance on this year's tour. Grabbing the second spot was another player who joined the tour in 1999, Lee Ann Walker-Cooper. She actually tied for second with pro Libby White at 4-under 68, but Walker-Cooper won on the second hole of a playoff. http://www.americanchronicle.com/articles/yb/146030770
