Australian Cassie Porter has won her first Epson Tour event in her second season on what is essentially the feeder tour for the 2025 LPGA Tour and has moved into second place behind New Zealand’s Fiona Xu in the 2024 money rankings and 5th in the all important points table.
The leading ten players at season’s end will graduate to the LPGA Tour next season, so Xu and Porter have positioned themselves well, although there still remain 12 of a total of twenty season-long events.
21 year old Porter from Peregian Beach on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast, has shown a lot of promise early in her professional career and this win will go a long way, although not yet guaranteed, to advancing her to the LPGA Tour in 2025.
At this event last year, Porter recorded one of two top tens for the season when finishing 8th so the layout is clearly one she enjoys.
19 year old Xu leads the standings after a win and runner-up in her season to date.
