Players like Patty Tavatanakit are running out of time. The top 60 players, including ties, on the Race to CME Globe point list qualify for the season’s-ending championship. This week’s Annika Driven by Gainbridge is the last event before this list is finalized.
Tavatanakit who is currently 61st in the points table, shot a 7-under-par 63 at Pelican golf club on a beautiful day to share the lead with the former No. 1 Jin Young Ko.
Tavanatakit said, “I have been preparing for the event.” Tavanatakit is the winner of ANA Inspiration 2021. “I knew exactly what I needed to do. I am pretty stressed but I also feel that I have done everything within my control. “I did everything without regret.”
CME Group Tour Championship, Tiburon Golf Course offers the largest purse of any non-major on the LPGA with $7 million. The CME winner gets $2 million.
There are some high-profile winners who are currently outside the top 10. Here is a list with bubble players and stars that need a good week.
