It's Official: Blumenherst Chooses the Lewis Track

Beth Ann Baldry reports that Amanda Blumenherst has turned down the invitation--also extended to Tiffany Joh, Azahara Munoz, Candace Schepperle, and Alexis Thompson--into the LPGA's first major of 2009, the Kraft Nabisco Invitational. She's going to try to make the LPGA by turning pro after graduation and winning or earning enough in her 6 sponsor-exemption starts to bypass Q-School. Seeing as how she already had her KNC experience last season (she was low amateur), I can't fault her for her decision. It'll be interesting to see whether Tiffany Joh follows suit.
