Details about my participation in the LPGA Q-school

Hi all,

For all of my fans and supporters who have been emailing me inquiring about Q-school here is the info:

I am playing in both sectionals:

The West Coast sectional on September 19-22 at Mission Hills CC in Rancho Mirage, California. We are playing both courses, the Palmer and the Dinah Shore.
The top 30 and ties will make it to the final qualifying tournament.

In the event I don't make the top 30 and ties in the West Coast sectional, I am also registered to play in the East Coast sectional on October 3-6 at the Plantation Golf & CC in Venice, Florida. We are playing both courses, the Bobcat and the Panther course. Same deal - top 30 and ties make it to the final qualifying tournament.

The Final qualifying tournament will be on Nov 29 - Dec 3 at LPGA Internatinal in Daytona Beach, Florida. 2 courses: Champions and Legends course. The final tournament is 5 rounds instead of the typical 4 rounds. The cut after round 4 is set for the top 70 and ties to move on the to final round (R5).

There is no real-time scoring available for the sectionals. Scores and pairings are posted at the end of each round, depending on the timezone of play.

Scores can be found at this page of the LPGA website: Q-School scores

And my scores and tee-times will be posted daily on the scores update on my homepage.

Thanks for all your wishes and support. It means a lot to me.

Cheers,

Megan

My season is over; I am preparing for Q-school

I am back in Los Angeles and loving the time that I have back at home. My caddie Andy and I had a great time in Gettysburg. I shot 74 the first day missing a couple short putts, came back the second day and shot one under par to move up the leader board quite a bit. I was very happy with my round on Saturday and was ready to move up even more on Sunday.

I was satisfied with shooting 73 on Sunday because I thought that the course was set up difficult to play all weekend. The greens were by far the largest and most undulated that we have played all year so you really had to be precise with your yardages or you would leave yourself a challenging 2 putt. I was actually very impressed with how low the scores were for the tournament.

I am proud of myself for coming back at the end of the season and playing well in my last 3 events. It gives me a lot of confidence going into qualifying school. So the time that I have at home for the next couple of weeks I will be practicing, working with my swing coach Bryan, playing practice rounds and, of course just enjoying my time at home with friends and family.

Cheers,
Meg
