They will compete in LPGA Final Qualifying in December in hopes of securing an LPGA Tour Card
Last month, five women college golfers qualified for the LPGA Final Qualifying. One caveat to reaching the Final Stage is that amateurs have to turn professional in order to compete.

Three players chose Door Number 1 and will tee it up in the Final Qualifying, Dec. 5-9 at Magnolia Grove Golf Club in Mobile, Alabama. - Julia Lopez Ramirez (Mississippi State), Zoe Campos (UCLA), and Adela Cernousek (Texas A&M).
