The former US Women’s Amateur champion missed the entry deadline to sign up for Q-Series, preventing her from having the chance to gain LPGA status last November.
Twenty-two-year-old Victorian Gabriela Ruffels has taken a major step towards playing her way onto the LPGA Tour with a two-stroke win at the Epson Tour’s Carlisle Arizona Women’s Classic.
Such is the small margins separating the leading players on the moneylist, the 37th-ranked player can still earn a LPGA Tour card with a win, and that’s good news for both Gabriela Ruffels and Robyn Choi.
Ruffels is set to make her pro debut in two weeks at the Gainbridge LPGA event at Lake Nona Golf & Country Club in Orlando, Florida, from February 25-28.
