Caroline Inglis doesn’t look at the Race to CME Globe points lists too often. This is something she leaves to her husband. However, Inglis was the No. She was ranked 148 and panicked when she realized that she had missed the deadline to register for Stage II LPGA Q-School.
Inglis said that she was “freaking out” and feared she would lose her status in 2023. It’s funny to reflect on that.
Inglis is now 99th on CME points and doesn’t have to worry about Stage 2. Stage 2 was delayed by Hurricane Ian. It will take place next week in Venice. She would prefer to remain in the top 100, which basically protects her full status for 2023.
Although the focus will be on those who are trying to qualify for CME Group Tour’s season-ending championship and season-ending awards, those who finish in the top 100 also have much to lose at the Pelican Women’s Championship.
As if all that wasn’t enough, Tropical Storm Nicole could cause havoc with strong winds and heavy rains. Because of the short daylight hours for the 120-player field, tournament officials will be able to move into Monday.
Inglis said, “It’s an excellent test this week,” noting that she has been learning to be more focused on her process than what she can control – such as the weather.
Inglis stated that “I have quite a lot of anxiety in general.” “I am very anxious about certain things.”
Since working with Paul Dewland, Emma Talley, a new sports psychologist, she has found ways to reduce her anxiety.
Inglis has finished in the top 15 three times out of her five previous starts since joining Dewland.
Dana Finkelstein is ranked 120th on our points list. She started a side business selling digital swing silhouettes two weeks ago. Although she is not an artist, her boyfriend Henry Fall and she bought a house in Mesa, Arizona. They began looking on Etsy for ideas for decorating and weren’t impressed by what they found.
Finkelstein is keeping her mind active with the new business, but she is taking everything that happens this week in stride.
Finkelstein said, “For me, it’s like I’m on an outsider looking in. So it’s kinda like a free week to get out and play the best I possibly can.” Fine, if I don’t, I go Q-School. If I do, I get an extended offseason.
The players who are between Nos. 101-125 players don’t lose LPGA Status, but they are still in Category 15 of the LPGA Priority List. To improve their status, they can attend Q-Series later in the year. Q-Series’ top 45 finishers fall under Category 14. They are listed in alphabetical order.
Celine Herbin, No. 182. You should consider that full-field events may have as few as 144 players, depending on the amount of daylight.
