Sure, there were 15 FT members who advanced, but look who was at the top and ask yourself who has the best chance to be among the top 20 at Final Qualifying School in December? And look how many between #15 and #30 on their money list not only missed out but bombed out this week....<BR/><BR/>Given that despite their disappointing play on the JLPGA for most or part of this season, Saiki and Oyama still blew away most of the FT hopefuls, and that Ahn has dropped from top 3 on the KLPGA last year to maybe top 10 this year but still was medalist at Mission Hills, I would hope the LPGA would consider extending automatic invitations to Final Qualifying School to the top 5 on the money list of the JLPGA, KLPGA, and LET as of mid-November each season. At least half of such players would be great candidates for top 20s there--more probably than all the non-top 5 FT players combined, I’ll bet.<BR/><BR/>The proof will be in the pudding when those LPGA players who finish outside the top 100 face off against the best of the qualifiers and FTers exempt from sectional qualifying. I’m even more curious to see which international pros and amateurs will be playing in Venice!The Constructivisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07242149985581771922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1198629951037494295.post-54767990709270141222008-09-19T18:44:00.000-04:002008-09-19T18:44:00.000-04:005 of 32 to move on are amateurs - that's a LOT of ...5 of 32 to move on are amateurs - that's a LOT of amateurs moving on. The women's game is getting deeper - but that many amateurs doesn't say a whole lot for the pros who couldn't play better than they did.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1198629951037494295.post-86602818745780613952008-09-19T18:30:00.000-04:002008-09-19T18:30:00.000-04:00I think that's why they scheduled the Ryder Cup fo...I think that's why they scheduled the Ryder Cup for this week - so you'd have something to do to kill time while waiting on these scores. :-)<BR/><BR/>This has been a GREAT day of Ryder Cup golf.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
