Rush to JLPGA Q-School premature

Add as Favorite

Beth Ann Baldry

There’s been a lot of talk this year about LPGA players heading to Japan for more playing opportunities. At one point, it looked like as many as a dozen players might sign up for JLPGA Q-School. Rumor had it even Paula Creamer and Natalie Gulbis were heading East. (That turned out to be false.)

In the end, only three LPGA members will try to gain full status in Japan: Seon-Hwa Lee, In Bee Park and Candie Kung. The final stage will be held Dec. 1-4 at Katsuragi Golf Club’s Yamana Course.

With a limited schedule I would not blame any LPGA tour player to go to JLPGA. However, I can't believe that Paula Creamer and Natalie Gulbis couldn't get a sponsors exemption into any Japan tournament they wanted. http://www.aboutjuniorgolf.com
