VIKKI QUALIFIES FOR FINAL Q SCHOOL
VIKKI MAKES IT BACK TO THE LPGA
TOUR FINAL Q SCHOOL
Musselburgh exile Vikki Laing is going back to the LPGA Tour Final Qualifying School.
The 25-year-old former Curtis Cup player, who has lived in the United States for the past six or so years - she went to university in California, was one of the 35 players with 72-hole totals of 299 or better who qualified from the sectional eliminator at Plantation Golf & Country Club, Venice, Florida.
Vikki had scores of 74, 71, 76 and 75 for an eight-over-par total of 296 - 10 shots behind Angie Hill and Nontaya Srisawang, the joint leaders in the event. Miss Laing was joint 20th among the qualifiers who go forward to the Final Q School at LPGA International, Daytona Beach in Florida from November 29 to December 3.
Vikki has been to the Final Q School before and gained partial exemption, which gained her entry to some but not nearly enough events on the lucrative LPGA Tour. This time Vikki must aim to gain full playing rights so that at last her career as a tournament professional can finally get off the ground.
Jo Clingan from Gloucester made it among the qualifiers with nothing to spare. She had rounds of 77, 74, 74 and 74 to hit the limit mark of 299.
But Polly Willett from London failed by just one shot. She had 73, 80, 72 and 75 for 300.
