Taylor Neidy cards second consecutive 73 in LPGA qualifying
RANCHO MIRAGE, Calif. (August 27, 2014) – Former Arkansas golfer Emily Tubert, Yu Liu and Kaylin Yost will share the 36 hole lead at Stage I of LPGA Qualifying School at Mission Hills Country Club in Rancho Mirage, Calif.
The trio of golfers all sit at 5-under par, 139, for the tournament one stroke clear of Annie Park and Sammi Stevens. First round leader Liz Nagel sits three back at 2-under, 142, after a second round 76.
The Rancho Mirage Qualifier is the first of the LPGA Tour’s three qualifying events in 2014. The top-100 players and ties from this week will advance to the second stage of the LPGA Qualifying Tournament at Plantation Golf and Country Club in Venice, Fla., from Sept. 30 – Oct. 4. A minimum of the top 80 and ties from Stage II will advance into the Final Qualifying Tournament.
Stage III of LPGA Q-School will be contested over 90 holes Dec. 3-7, at the LPGA International in Daytona Beach, Fla. Top finishers in the final stage will earn 2015 LPGA membership.
DIFFERENT DAY SAME ENDING FOR EMILY TUBERT: In round one of qualifying school, Emily Tubert holed out from 42 yards for a walk-off eagle. Today, Tubert one again closed her day on a high note with an eagle.
"I busted a drive on 18 and had 210 to pin and hit a four iron to inside four feet and rolled it in to shoot one-under," Tubert explained.
The eagle to close the day helped Tubert to post her second-consecutive round under par, with a 71, to put her in a prime position entering the final two rounds. Tubert currently sits in a tie for first place overall at 139 (-5) for the tournament.
"I was a little bit more in my head today," Tubert admitted. "The swing was a little bit more guidey and what was nice was on 18 I just let it rip and it goes straight. I don’t know. Sometimes I just play with fear and get in my own way but I’m going to go to the range after this and figure it out and try to get some confidence back."
Tubert, who earned the Dinah Shore Trophy earlier this summer, is bringing the same approach to her final two days as she had for the first two rounds.
"Continue doing what I’m doing," Tubert said for her plan the rest of the way. "My approach is fairways and greens. Give yourself looks and if one goes in then great but I’m just trying to make pars. That’s the gameplan and so far it’s working out alright."
With that approach, Tubert is looking to claim a spot on the LPGA Tour, a place where she was able to compete a handful of times during her time at the University of Arkansas when she received sponsors invites into the Walmart NW Arkansas Championship and qualified for the U.S. Open in 2013.
"I feel like I belong out there," Tubert said confidently. "I felt that when I’ve played in Arkansas. I felt that when I played in the U.S. Open last year. There’s a sense of calm and a sense of belonging. It’s just a matter of getting there. We’ll see how that happens. It’s just a matter of time whether it’s through Q School or Symetra. Who knows what the journey to get there will be but I feel like I belong out there and that I’ll get there."
The top 100 finishers will move on to the second stage of qualifying. Players with Oklahoma ties currently positioned inside the top 100 include Alexandra Stewart of Oklahoma City, tied for sixth at 3-under 141, former OU golfer Anne-Catherine Tanguay, tied for 24th at 1-over, Taylor Neidy of Clinton, OU-ex Chriapat Jao-Javanil and former OSU player Jayde Panos tied for 32nd at 2-over, former Sooner Emily Collins tied for 47th at 2-over, former Tulsa Hurricane Kristina Merkle and former Cowgirl Julie Yang tied for 77th at 5-over and former Sooner Kaitlyn Rohrback tied for 95th at 6-over.
