RANCHO MIRAGE, Calif. - Auburn junior Candace Schepperle carded a 14-over-par 86 in the second round of the LPGA's Kraft Nabisco Championship on Friday, missing the cut to the weekend.

Schepperle finished in a tie for 87th, tallying a two-day total of 14-over 158. She shot an even-par 72 in the first round and entered the second round in a tie for 30th.

The event was the third professional tournament for Schepperle to compete in. She has also competed in the 2006 Chick-fil-A Charity Championship and the 2008 CN Canadian Open.

At the Canadian Open, she tallied a 15-over-par 303 (71-76-77-79), making the cut and finishing in a tie for 78th. She was the only amateur to make the cut at the tournament held at the Otawa Hunt and Golf Club.

In her first professional tournament, the Chick-fil-A Charity Championship, Schepperle was again the only amateur to make the cut as she carded rounds of 75-68-76-72--291, finishing at 3-over-par to take a tie for 75th. The event took place just outside Atlanta, in Stockbridge, Ga., at the Eagles Landing Country Club.

Schepperle and the No. 7-ranked Auburn women's golf team will return to action April 6-7 at the SunTrust Lady Gator Invitational in Gainesville, Fla.
