The Annika is underway at the iconic Pelican Golf Club in Belleair, Florida. With $3.25 million up for grabs at this week's tournament, the field had to battle it out on the first two days to make sure they earn a spot to compete in the weekend and take home a paycheck.

The LPGA Tour event saw a field size of 108 players. However, more than half the field failed to post a 36-hole score less than 1 over par and will be heading home early.
