Pauline Roussin-Bouchard opted to forgo her final two years of college eligibility and turn professional earlier this year.
It’s proven to be a good decision so far.
A two-time first-team All-American for South Carolina, Roussin-Bouchard tied for fourth in her professional debut at the Symetra Tour’s Four Winds Invitational in August before notching three top-10s on the Ladies European Tour, including a win. She then closed in 7-under 65 Sunday in Venice, Florida, to win Stage II of LPGA Q-School by five shots at 19 under.
Roussin-Bouchard was among 47 players who moved on to the LPGA’s two-week Q-Series, which begins in late November.
