LPGA Q-School change bodes well for college teams
ATLANTA – For two women’s coaches, at least, there is a sense of foreboding at this week’s East Lake Cup. It could be the final college event for the past two NCAA players of the year.
Both UCLA senior Bronte Law and Duke junior Leona Maguire qualified for the final stage of LPGA Q-School, set for Nov. 30-Dec. 4 in Daytona Beach, Fla. The top 20 finishers in the five-round event earn full status on the LPGA next season, and considering their talent and current form, there’s a good chance that both stars will retire their team uniforms come December.
It makes for a bittersweet end to the fall, as a professional problem once again threatens to undermine this college golf season.
