The final Colorado-based USGA qualifier for women will be held on Tuesday (Oct. 3) at Walnut Creek Golf Preserve in Westminster as teams try to advance to the 2018 U.S. Women’s Amateur Four-Ball Championship.
The top two-person squad out of the seven entered will earn a spot into the national Women’s Four-Ball, set for April 28-May 2 at El Caballero Country Club in Tarzana, Calif.
Aiming for a second straight trip together to the national Women’s Four-Ball will be Colorado State University teammates Katrina Prendergast and Ellen Secor, who qualified in Colorado last year and advanced to the match play round of 16 at the national championship in May. In fact, Secor has made match play at the last two national Women’s Four-Balls, pairing with Jessica Sloot in 2016. Sloot will also attempt to qualify on Tuesday, this time with CSU teammate Brooke Nolte.
Likewise in the qualifying field at Walnut Creek (pictured) are three sets for sisters who will compete in the best-ball competition: Taylor and Molly Dorans, Caroline and Marie Jordaan, and Lauren and Katelyn Lehigh. In addition, two highly-regarded high school sophomores will team up in Hailey Schalk and Charlotte Hillary.
