Qualifying kicks off in the Sony Open today with 12 Americans taking part.

Those five are Wayne Odesnik, Deiton Baughman, Alex Kuznetsov, Rhyne Williams, and Steve Johnson. Johnson takes on fellow American Michael Russell in the first round of qualifying.

On the women’s side none of the women are seeded. Melanie Oudin, Shelby Rogers, and Coco Vandeweghe are the ones set to take part. Some nice young names with real potential that hopefully can find there way into the draw.
