She finished even par 72 today for T10 at -12. TV crew had some very good things to say about her. She needed to win $64K this week to get her in the top 100. Top 100 get automatic tour cards and avoids the dreaded Q School. I am not sure how much T10 will pay. I have not been able to find the player payouts yet
Steph won $41,466 according to the LPGA website:
Click here for linkA nice payday, but this leaves her about $23k short of what she needs to avoid Q-school. I think there are a couple more tourneys where she could still win enough $$$ to get her card, if she can get in them. (Since she doesn't have a card she isn't automatically "in" tourneys.)
I hate the thought of her having to go through Q-school again. She missed out last year by one spot, loosing in a playoff for the last card awarded. I think that was crushing to her and it took her a while to get over that. Don't want to see that happen again.
