Former OSU golfers in hunt for LPGA Tour card
Former Oklahoma State golfers Julie Yang and Jayde Panos are in the hunt for their LPGA Tour cards but have room to make up after 36 holes of the five-round final stage Qualifying Tournament at LPGA International in Daytona Beach, Fla.
Yang is tied for 48th after rounds of 75-71 while Panos is tied for 80th in the 145-player field after rounds of 76-71. The top 20 will earn their LPGA Tour cards for 2015.
Former Oklahoma golfer and NCAA champion Chirapat Jao-Javanil is tied for 103rd after rounds of 74-75.
Ju Young Park (Seoul, South Korea) and Casey Grice (College Station, Texas) hold the 36-hole lead at 9-under par 135.
"My course management has worked really well for me," said Park, who is the sister of two-time LPGA Tour winner Hee Young Park. "I just want to keep playing well over the next three days."
Park backed up an opening round 67 at the Hills Course with a 68 on Jones, while Grice followed up a day-one 66 at Jones with a 69 on Hills.
Park carded six birdies against two bogeys while Grice made four birdies against a lone bogey.
Sophia Popov (Weingarten, Germany), Samantha Richdale (Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada) and Elizabeth Nagel (DeWitt, Mich.) are in a tie for third at 7-under.
All 154 players have now played a round at the Hills and Jones Courses at LPGA International. Players will again flip between Jones and Hills over the next two days prior to a 72-hole cut to the top-70 and ties for Sunday’s final round at the Hills Course.
