The wind played havoc with scoring at the Lake Region course in the final round of Futures Tour Q-School--Ecuador's Kitty Hwang was the only player to break 70 among the 96 players who made the 72-hole cut and there were only 2 other under-par rounds on the day--but Tiffany Joh hung tough and walked away with a 1-shot victory over playing partner and former co-leader Danielle Mills. As Lisa Mickey reports, despite missing 4 of 5 greens down the stretch, Joh scrambled her way to victory, while Mills's putter let her down.
Here are the final results for the leaders and notables; I've *ed the players who will be competing in LPGA Q-School the 1st week of December:

Very nice to see Oui, who's coming back from shoulder surgery, play as solid golf as anyone over her 2 final rounds, particularly on the tough Bridgewater track yesterday. Sarah Brown, an amateur from NJ, ended up at +4 overall (T15) in her tune-up for LPGA Q-School. Depending on who gets what status there, the Futures Tour will adjust its own membership/status lists accordingly. Good luck to all!
