Lopez Ramirez finished T10 and Cernousek finished T13 as all golfers who finished in the top 25 earned their LPGA Tour cards
After taking the risk to turn pro and participate in the LPGA Q-School Final Stage, Julia Lopez Ramirez and Adela Cernousek finished in the top 25 and earned their LPGA Tour cards at Magnolia Grove Golf Club (Crossings and Falls courses) in Mobile, Ala.
Lopez Ramirez finished T10 with rounds of 74-70-69-69-64 to get to 12-under. The former Mississippi State standout started slow, but the middle rounds of 69 got her back in position to finish in the top 25, and a stellar final round of 8-under 64 saw her propel all the way into the top ten.
Cernousek, the 2024 NCAA Division I Individual champion, carded rounds of 75-71-65-66-70 to finish 11-under and T13, just one shot behind Lopez Ramirez.
The tournament was a 90-hole competition where two rounds were played at the Magnolia Grove Falls Course and three rounds at the Magnolia Grove Crossings Course.
The final 18 holes were split over Monday and Tuesday due to poor weather conditions that impacted the playability of the course.
