Su Oh and Karis Davidson have survived the eight round marathon that is the LPGA Tour’s Q Series to maintain status on the premier women’s circuit for next year after just missing out on keeping their cards during the regular season.
Finishing inside the top-100 on the money list in 2022 would have saved them from the qualifying school and afforded trips home for the Australian Open, however when Victorian Oh finished 104th and Queenslander Davidson was two spots higher, a trip to Alabama was guaranteed.
Needing to finish tied for 45th or better, Davidson closed with a final round of 70 to share 28th at the Q Series, while Oh closed with a 68 for a T38.
Although they will earn some starts on Tour via the Category 15 assigned to those finishing in 21-45 at the Q Series, Oh and Davidson will more than likely use the status they received from their result on the secondary Epson Tour.
Hae Ran Ryu of Korea will have no such worries after she finished atop the qualifying tournament at 29-under-par, while Ines Laklalech from Morocco finished in a share of 12th to become the first Arab woman to earn status on the LPGA Tour.
