ANNIKA 20
Hailey Jones (Dallas, TX) has shown her dominance on the points list thus far, with five top-five finishes including a win at the FCA Women’s Championship and T2 place at the Destination Grapevine Texas Women’s Open.
“I am very grateful to be in this position, heading into the second half of the season. Being in the top 5 on the points list has been a goal of mine at the start of the season.The Callaway Race To Qualifying and ANNIKA 20 programs are a great opportunity for us and helps us take the next step in reaching our dreams,” said Jones.
Sadie Englemann (Austin, TX) jumped up 25 spots to sit in the top-five after her win at the Destination Grapevine Texas Women’s Open. The 22-year-old has finished in the top 10 in all four ANNIKA WAPT events she's played so far, showing her consistency among the field. The Stanford grad will look to tee it up at Epson Tour’s Great Lakes Championship, June 13-15.
With just 27 points differentiating Michaela Morarad (Huntsville, AL) and Ellie Vorster (Canada) from the Callaway Race To Qualifying top-five, the St. Louis Women’s Championship could be a crucial deciding factor.
“Being at the number 5 spot in the Callaway points heading into the second half of the season means a lot to me. I put in a lot of work in the off season working on a couple of swing changes and recently switched my entire bag to Callaway,” said Morarad. “Seeing everything start to fall into place is a blessing. I can’t wait to see how the second half of the season goes.”
Morarad’s season resume has included a win at the Lake Charles Regional Sports Authority Championship and two T11 finishes at the Coke Dr Pepper Open and the Destination Grapevine Texas Women’s Open. Vorster has also seen a win this season with a title at the Taco Bell Natchez Classic, along with a T8 finish at the Destination Grapevine Texas Women’s Open.
