Pauline Roussin-Bouchard and Adela Cernousek with Céline Boutier

Respectively third and thirteenth in the final of the LPGA Tour cards won by the Japanese Miyu Yamashita, Pauline Roussin-Bouchard and Adela Cernousek are guaranteed to play on the toughest circuit in the world in 2025.

Pauline Roussin-Bouchard completed the fifth and final lap of the Q-Series Final Qualifyingwhich was interrupted by rain on Monday, with a score of 71, its first above 68 of the week, on the Crossings course of Magnolia Grove Golf Club, in Alabama. At the forefront since the first day, the native of Montélimar (26) finished eight strokes behind the Japanese Miyu Yamashita but above all, recovered a card on the LPGA Tour.

Pauline Roussin-Bouchard had obtained his card at the end of 2021 by ranking second in the Q-Seriesand kept it in 2022 but lost it at the end of 2023. Last year, a bogey on the last hole of this same event cost him his place on the LPGA Tour.

Adela Cernousek stands out again

Adela Cernousek will also keep company Celine Boutier on the LPGA Tour next year: after a difficult start, the 21-year-old turned things around spectacularly to enter the top 25 – synonymous with full playing rights for 2025 – during the third round, and no longer get out.

A new feat for the NCAA university champion, after making the cut at the last US Women’s Open before winning the second stage of the cards you LPGA. She thus won her bet, after having chosen to turn pro before the end of her studies at Texas A&M in order to participate in this competition.

A bit like a certain… Pauline Roussin-Bouchardwho had also set records for an American university (South Carolina), had made the cut at US Women’s Open in 2020 and turned pro in 2021 before getting his card at the Q-School you LPGA Tour.

The performance ofAdela Cernousek is all the more admirable since players like the Swiss Chiara Tamburliniwho won the Order of Merit and the titles of “rookie of the year” and best player of the season on the LETdid not manage to win the precious sesame. No more than major tournament winners like the Swede Pernilla Lindberg and the German Sophia Popov !

The other Frenchwoman in the running, Perrine Delacourhad not made the cut and therefore lost her playing right. She had narrowly missed keeping it, finishing 109th in the Order of Merit (for 100 places). Like all the other players having completed 72 holes, the Picardy will have the status of full member of l’Epson Tour in 2025. Just like on the LETwhere we should no longer see her. “I have a hard time accepting it, she commented. The LPGA won't see me every week, but when I come back you'll know I'm ready. »
