(Golf Canada/Jason Scourse)

Christina Foster carded a 3-under-par 69 in the opening round of the Symetra Tour’s FireKeepers Casino Hotel Championship, in Battle Creek, Mich.

The Toronto, Ont., product had four birdies and a just one bogey in the first round one at Battle Creek Country Club to sit three shots back of France’s Celine Boutier who fired a 6-under-par 66 to lead by one after 18 holes.

Foster has one top-10 this season on the Symetra Tour, a T8 at the Sara Bay Classic in April. She has struggled since – missing the cut in four of her six starts.

Young Pro Squad’s Anne-Catherine Tanguay is T35 at E-under-par, alongside Orangeville, native and Team Canada graduate Brittany Marchand.

Tanguay’s Young Pro Squad teammate Augusta James is T47 at 1 over par.
