As some of you might know, the LPGA reshuffles its priority list, which establishes members' access to regular full-field events, after the 8th and 15th tournaments of the year. The Mobile Bay Classic was tournament number eight, so a reshuffle was done this morning.
Most full-field events have a field of 144 players, so if your priority list number is higher than that you have to rely on some of the ladies with better rankings to skip the event in order to qualify.
Most of the current changes were minor, with gains or losses of just 2 or 3 places, which aren't worth mentioning.
Jessica Korda, who won the Australian open, made the biggest move when compared to the January list. She went up from #112 to #84. Karin Sjodin's fine play enabled her to move from #114 to #87. Next biggest move was by Jodi Ewart who moved from #101 to #88.
The following ladies made the most important moves, as they have now entered the top #144, virtually putting them in all full-field events, at least until the next reshuffle:
Jennifer Rosales #149 to #136
Jennifer Gleason #160 to# 143
Veronica Felibert #150 to #144
Jacqui Concolino #155 to #145
With the good comes the bad. On the downside, Nicole Castrale's medical exemption expired and she took the biggest fall, dropping from #52 to #115.
Here is a list of the ladies who dropped out of the top 144, and will now have a tougher time getting starts:
Ashli Bunch #137 to #147
Amelia Lewis #139 to #148
Yoo Keong Kim #140 to #149
Samantha Richdale #143 to #150
Jenny Suh #145 to #151
Nicole Hage #146 to #152
Louise Stahle #147 to #153
Jeehae Lee #148 to #154
