LPGA Q School Day 3 Rained Out; PGA Tour Q School Fares Better
The third round of the LPGA Q School in Daytona Beach, Fla., was washed out early Friday when lightning suspended morning play, then heavy rains made the course unplayable. Play was to resume at 9 a.m. (MST) Saturday.
Sun Country Golf, in an earlier post, failed to note participation at the LPGA Q School field of Roswell’s Gerina Mendoza, who entered Round 2 tied for 58th and was listed in a tie for 53rd when play was suspended.
Additionally, long-time LPGA pro Dorothy Delasin of Albuquerque was having a rough time in this year’s Q School, shooting 90-95 and languishing in 103rd position in the 103-player field still in the five-round competition for 40 spots with some eligibility on the 2010 LPGA Tour.
Meanwhile, Albuquerque’s Katie Kempter resumes play Saturday on No. 4 of the Legends Course of the LPGA International Golf Course. She remained in a tie for 3rd, one shot behind the leaders, Nikki Garrett and Jane Chin. Kempter was at 4-under, after giving up a shot early in the rain-shortened third round.
