Denver resident Becca Huffer is making a late-season run at an LPGA Tour card.
A week after finishing third in a Symetra Tour event in Sioux Falls, S.D., Huffer chalked up another top-10 on Sunday by tying for eighth in the Garden City Charity Classic in Garden City, Kan.
Huffer (pictured in a Symetra Tour photo) remained in 17th place on the season-long Symetra Tour money list, but is now about $10,300 out of 10th place. If she can climb into the top 10 and finish there after the final four tournaments of the year, she’ll be a member of the LPGA Tour in 2019.
Sunday’s performance marked Huffer’s fourth top-11 finish of the 2018 season.
In Garden City, she posted rounds of 68-66-71 for an 11-under-par 205 total, which left the 2013 winner of the CoBank Colorado Women’s Open five strokes behind champion Allyssa Ferrell.
Boulder Native Cunningham in Good Shape to Earn Web.com Tour Card: Boulder native and former Louisville resident George Cunningham finished third on Sunday at the Mackenzie Investments Open in Montreal, marking his fourth top-four showing of the season on PGA Tour Canada.
Cunningham — grandson of the late Chuck Melvin, who played in six Colorado Cup matches — posted an 18-under-par 270 total, finishing a stroke out of a playoff that was won by Blake Olson. Cunningham shot rounds of 68-67-71-64 and made nine birdies on Sunday.
Cunningham, winner of the GolfBC Championship in June, is in very good position to earn a Web.com Tour card for 2019. The top five finishers on the PGA Tour Canada money list for the year after next week’s season finale will graduate to the Web circuit, and Cunningham is currently No. 3 on that list.
