Christel Boeljon not going back to

US college - plans to turn pro

Christel Boeljon from the Netherlands, who has not got past the second round of the British women's open amateur championship for the past two years but finished in the top 10 in a recent Ladies European Tour event, has set her sights on the Qualifying School process later in the year.

She has informed the coaches at the University of Purdue that she will not be coming back for her fourth and final senior year at college and plans to turn pro.

Boeljon, pictured right by Cal Carson Golf Agency, was No 14 in the Golfweek US college women's rankings at the end of the 2007-2008 season.
