Despite missing the cut in her final event of the season on the Epson Tour, The Epson Tour Championship, Sydney’s Grace Kim has done well enough during her rookie season in professional golf to play her way onto the LPGA Tour in 2023.
21 year old Kim finished the season in 5th position on the Epson Tour Order of Merit and as such will earn one of the ten LPGA Tour cards available via the secondary tour.
Grace’s win in the IOA Classic in May set up her season but she added another four top tens to see her comfortably inside the required mark.
Kim also played well in events on the WPGA and Australian PGA Tour’s Player Series events earlier in the year and the former Australian Amateur Champion (2021) appears set to make her mark at the higher level of the LPGA.
In this week’s Tour Championship, Victorian Gabi Ruffels and New Zealand’s Amelia Garvey finished tied for 11th and Queensland’s Robyn Choi 20th but they will not advance having finished outside the all-important top ten.
