"Domer" Huffer in Contention @ LPGA Qualifier
It's a grueling test...
Eight rounds of golf -- finish in the top 45 and you earn your LPGA Tour Card for the 2019 season.
Notre Dame alum -- Becca Huffer '12, is currently in a tie for 36th -- after the first four rounds of the LPGA Q-Series event at Pinehurst.
Becca has shot "back to back" 70's to get her in contention for a coveted LPGA Tour Card. Now she has four more days of tournament golf with the goal to finish among the top 45!
The final four rounds begin tomorrow at Pinehurst No. 7.
"When" Becca earns that LPGA Tour Card -- I believe she'll become the first Notre Dame alum in history to have earned that honor!
Good luck Becca!
