Orlando, Fla. - Yana Wilson of Henderson, Nevada, leads the 14th Hilton Grand Vacations ANNIKA Invitational presented by Rolex by one-stroke after the first round. The No. 5 player in the Rolex AJGA Rankings went 4-under-par 69 today.


The 14th annual Hilton Grand Vacations ANNIKA Invitational presented by Rolex boasts a field featuring the best female junior golfers from around the world.
