Competitors are vying for 20 spots with total eligibility on the 2010 LPGA Tour and 20 more with some eligibility.
Gerina Mondoza of Roswell was in a tie for 32nd after steadily moving up the leaderboard through four rounds of the five-round event, which has dragged out over six days because of heeavy rains that made the LPGA International Course unplayable at times.
