REBECCA FINISHES WITH 77
AND MISSES OUT AT
AT LPGA FINAL Q SCHOOL

Ireland's Rebecca Coakley (pictured right, courtesy of Ladies European Tour) had her worst round of the week - a five-over-par 77 - in the decisive fifth and final round of the LPGA Final Qualifying School at Daytona Beach, Florida today.
Rebecca's earlier rounds were 71, 76, 72 and 76. She finished on 372, joint 73rd or last but one of the players who survived the fourth-round cut.
Only the leading 15 players (totals of 359 or better) gained full playing rights on next year's lucrative LPGA circuit. The next 35 and ties (totals between 360 and 368) gained conditional status, which means they they might get into as little as two tournaments.
The top 15 who are celebrating in Florida tonight had totals of 359 of better and are headed by two South Koreans, one of whom played the tournament as an amateur but had to declare she was now a professional before going home.
Hye Jung Choi collected the $6,000 first prize while 18-year-old amateur In-Kyung Kim, also from Seoul, was unable to accept anything.
Third-placed Maru Martinez (Venezuela) received the second cash prize of $5,000.
Those who gained conditional status for the LPGA Tour had totals from 360 to 368.
