Title: Stephanie Meadow Update Post by: McBaman on August 27, 2016, 05:55:58 PM Some of you will remember Stephanie as one of the stars of our ladies NCAA NC golf team a couple of years back. Since graduating from Bama, she's been working to get her LPGA tour card. It's been a tough go at times for her but in true Bama style, she's never given up.
This week she's playing in the Canadian Women's Open and doing quite well -- tied for 2nd going into Sunday's final round. If she finishes (I think) in the top 5 at this tourney she will get her LPGA tour card for 2017. Let's all pull for her tomorrow. Could be a big day for Steph.

Praying for your day to really score well and then win it outright. RTR!
Title: Re: Stephanie Meadow Update Post by: 2Stater on August 27, 2016, 07:28:31 PM I'm pulling for her! #+
Title: Re: Stephanie Meadow Update Post by: pmull on August 28, 2016, 07:17:32 AM She is tied for third going into the final round at -12.2nd place is -15 and the leader is -17.She will need to play well today. They are a lot of players at -8-11 they will be trying to make a move up the leaderboard.
I always like her. She was a very good player for us. Title: Re: Stephanie Meadow Update Post by: pmull on August 28, 2016, 07:18:32 AM On the PGA Tour Justin Thomas is T5 going into today's final round.
Title: Re: Stephanie Meadow Update Post by: 2Stater on August 28, 2016, 07:29:45 AM On the PGA Tour Justin Thomas is T5 going into today's final round. He's having a good year. Last I looked he was ranked around 18th in the world. Title: Re: Stephanie Meadow Update Post by: pmull on August 28, 2016, 05:18:14 PM 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

I have not been able to find the player payouts yet Steph won $41,466 according to the LPGA website: http://www.lpga.com/tournaments/cp-womens-open/results A 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.

She lost her Dad that she was very close to. Title: Re: Stephanie Meadow Update Post by: McBaman on August 29, 2016, 08:03:51 PM Thanks for that last post pmull. I didn't know about Steph's dad. Guess that explains why she kinda disappeared for a few months.

Guess that explains why she kinda disappeared for a few months. I did not know it either. I goggled her this weekend just to get a snapshot of her career since leaving Alabama. Several items popped up about losing her Dad. The article posted below gives you a good idea of how close they were and the difficult time she had dealing with it. http://golfweek.com/2015/04/02/lpga-stephanie-meadow-ana-inspiration-2015-alabama/ Title: Re: Stephanie Meadow Update Post by: McBaman on September 05, 2016, 11:19:39 AM I know FB season has started, but.... Stephanie finished at -1 and tied for 68th in the LPGA Manulife tourney. She won $3350. Don't know where she is on the money list but maybe she can squeak by and get her card for next year.
Title: Re: Stephanie Meadow Update Post by: pmull on September 05, 2016, 12:27:44 PM She is # 113 on the money list. Top 100 get their card. She has won $58K in only 9 events. The golfers she is competing against has played 17-21 events. The 100th place money is currently $86K.
