There were 102 players who teed it up. They played eight rounds. There was no cut. Many of these players were seeking LPGA tour membership for the very first time. Only the top 45 finishers (and ties) would be rewarded with full time playing privileges on the LPGA tour in 2019. Of those players, 27 of them will be rookies playing on the LPGA tour for the very first time.
This week the LPGA heads back to China for the playing of the Blue Bay LPGA. Many of my readers may remember last year's exciting finish when Shanshan Feng came out on top by one stroke over Moriya Jutanugarn.
Yeah even her caddy has spoken out. It sounds like a homeowner saw it happen and told the player/caddy. Player tells caddy to shut up. Homeowner tells officials. Officials confront player/caddy and the caddy tells the truth. DQ.
In good news Lily He has her LPGA card for next year.
