LPGA hopefuls need strong final rounds today to advance
VENICE, Fla., October 2, 2014 – The youth movement has been well documented on the LPGA Tour in 2014 and if LPGA Qualifying Tournament Stage II is an indication, don’t expect that to change. 18-year-old Su Oh (Bentleigh East, Australia), 19-year-old Alison Lee (Valencia, California) and 20-year-old Ginger Howard (Bradenton, Florida) are tied for the lead at 8-under-par 208 with the final round set for Friday. They will be paired together in the final group (1:27 p.m., Bobcat Course).
Oh and Lee, who played together on Thursday, both carded a 6-under 66, while Howard fired a 3-under 69 to move up to 8-under 208.
Celine Herbin (Santander, Spain) is one shot back at 7-under 209 after shooting a 2-under 70 while Carly Werwie (Kenosha, Wisconsin), Annie Park (Levittown, New York) and Katherine Perry (Cary, North Carolina) are four shots out at 4-under 212.
There are currently 18 players in a tie for 64th at 4-over-par 220.
The top 80 players plus ties will advance to Final Stage of the LPGA Qualifying Tournament at LPGA International in Daytona Beach, Florida from December 3-7. Players that finish inside the top 20 at final stage will receive category 12 status on the LPGA Tour in 2015. Meanwhile, players that finish 21 through 45 will earn category 17 status on the LPGA Tour.
Among players with Oklahoma ties, four are currently in the top 80, including former Oklahoma State players Jayde Panos (tied for 16th) and Julie Yang (tied for 64th) and former Oklahoma golfers Chirapat Jao-Javanil (tied for 48th) and Emily Collins (tied for 64th).
Taylor Neidy of Clinton shot 77 Thursday and is five strokes outside the top 80. She will need a strong final round today. Complete results below.
