\u00a0DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) – She’s been a television spokesperson, a swimsuit model and a sports pioneer. She’s now a pole-sitter.

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 No woman had ever captured the pole for any race in NASCAR’s premier circuit until Danica Patrick’s performance in Sunday’s qualifying session for the Daytona 500.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Patrick was the eighth driver to post a qualifying time, finishing in 45.817 seconds and averaging 196.434 mph. Then, she had to wait another two hours as 37 drivers tried and failed to beat her time.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Patrick’s best finish in 10 Cup races is 17th, and she has one top-five in 58 starts in the second-tier Nationwide Series.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The previous highest female qualifier in a Cup race was Janet Guthrie, who started ninth at Bristol and Talladega in 1977.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Jeff Gordon was the only other driver to top 196 mph in qualifying, giving him the other spot in the front row for next Sunday’s race.

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Merrick hit two clutch shots that led to par in a sudden-death playoff, but the victory wasn’t sealed until Beljan missed a 5-foot par putt on the second extra hole.

Fredrik Jacobson (YAH’-kuhb-suhn) missed out on the playoff by bogeying his final hole for a 69. He finished tied for third with Charl Schwartzel (SHAR’-uhl SHWORTS’-uhl), who missed a birdie putt on 18 that would have allowed him to keep playing.
