More importantly, the Frenchwoman offers herself for the moment a nice mattress of points on the players classified beyond the 20th place on the leaderboard. Eight to be exact. Remember that the scores at the end of the 4th round this Sunday in Mobile will be kept for the next four in Dothan next week (December 9-12). The first twenty after 144 holes will obtain a full green fee on the LPGA Tour 2022. The objective that Pauline Roussin-Bouchard, victorious Stage-II of these US Cards in mid-October in Venice (Florida).
Saturday also favorable from an accounting point of view for Julie Aimé, engaged on the Crossings Course. La Niçoise, which evolves year-round on the Symetra Tour, made only one error (a double-bogey on par 4 of 5). But with four birdies in the money bag and a 70 (-2) card, she advanced fifteen places on the leaderboard. 38th at -2, it is well in the nails for four more laps between next Thursday and Sunday…
Agathe Laisné in danger …
Called at 8:36 a.m. (3:36 p.m. in France) on the Falls Course, Agathe Laisne She had a very difficult go, taking three bogeys in four holes (from 3 to 6) before temporarily stopping the bleeding at 8 with a first birdie, unfortunately quickly erased by a fourth bogey at 10.
From -2 total at the start of this third round, the Racing player then posted a very hard +1 at the start of her comeback. Fortunately, two final birdies at holes 15 and 16 allowed him to limit the damage. With a 72 (+1), it nevertheless loses ten places (46th to -1) but still remains in the top 70 qualifier.
Emma Broze keeps hope
Thanks to his excellent 68 (-4) on the Crossings Course, and despite the fog which forced the organizers to postpone the start of this 3rd lap by fifteen minutes on this course only, Emma Broze is making up much of its backlog. At +2 (217), the Frenchwoman, victorious this summer on the Symetra Tour, is only two points from a cut fixed in the total… The prospect of seeing the four French golfers validate their tickets for four rounds additional next week is no longer a utopia.
