2024 LET Access Series winner Mimi Rhodes topped the leaderboard this weekend at the LPGA Qualifying Series.
Amongst a field of 193 players and across 72 holes, Rhodes shared medallist honours at Q Series alongside French amateur Adela Cernousek.
Rhodes, who earned her first professional victory at the Lavaux Ladies Open in September, started the final day of Q Series seven shots back of the leaders.
The Englishwoman began the final round in a tie for ninth, after posting three straight under-par rounds.
The final day was no different, with Rhodes carding five birdies in her opening nine holes to turn in 31 at 5-under for the day.
The birdies continued the back nine, with the 22-year-old making three more on the last nine holes and adding one bogey to finish out Qualifying with a 7-under 65.
Speaking after her fantastic week, Rhodes said: “I woke up today and my goal was 8-under, so I was a bit disappointed not to get eight-under, but I’m so happy with my game and with how I’m putting.
“Everything with my game, it was just solid. I’m just super happy.”
Rhodes finished ninth on the LETAS Order of Merit after seven events, one spot away from securing a guaranteed LET card for 2024.
It’s been a super successful year for the 22-year-old, who debuted as a professional at the Rose Ladies Open after being part of the winning GB&I Curtis Cup Team in 2024.
43 players were eligible to advance to LPGA Q-Series Final Qualifying and other LETAS stars were among them.
Ireland’s Sara Byrne finished T-6 on 11-under-par to get a spot at Final Qualifying which will be held at Magnolia Grove Golf Club from December 5-9.
England’s Caley Mcginty, who was an invite to the Montauban Ladies Open also finished T-31 to earn entry into the event.
The top 25 competitors and ties at the conclusion of Final Qualifying will earn their LPGA Tour cards for the 2025 season.
