Noh, 17, playing Marathon on sponsor's invite after going from Mon. qualifier to T-6

American teenager Yealimi Noh will get another chance to build on her promising LPGA debut as a professional.

With Noh, 17, making a stirring run into contention at the Thornberry Classic last week, the Marathon Classic announced Saturday that she had accepted a sponsor’s exemption to play in its event this week. Noh ended up tying for sixth on Sunday.

“I'm just overall really happy with how I played and how I finished, too,” No said. “It was my goal to be inside the top 10.”

Noh made it into the Thornberry Creek field as a Monday qualifier.
