VENICE, Fla -- After four rounds of play, former Lady Vols Erica Popson and AJ Newell advanced to Stage III of LPGA Tour Qualifying School.
The duo finished in the top 80 during Stage II, tying for 61st place (293, +5) and 21st place (287, -1), respectively.
The final stage of Q-School will be held Wednesday, November 27 through Sunday, December 3 at LPGA International Golf Club. The top 80 players and ties advanced to Stage III while all other players who completed 72 holes, including senior Anna Newell and LVFL Lucia Polo, will receive Symetra Tour Status (based on finish) for the 2018 season.
In Stage III, each player will be randomly assigned to either the Hills-Jones-Hill-Jones or Jones-Hill-Jones-Hill course rotation for rounds one through four. Players will remain in their same pairings for the first two rounds. For rounds three and four, players will be re-paired by score within their respective rotation group. After 72 holes, a cut will be made to the top 70 players and ties. Players making the 72-hole cut will be paired by score for the final round to be played on the Hills course.
