Leah John Makes Late Push for LPGA Card as Epson Tour Hits Final Stretch

The Vancouver native sits 19th in points with a win on Aug. 1 fueling confidence.

Overview

  • Three tournaments remain on the schedule: the Guardian Championship in Prattville, Ala., the Murphy USA El Dorado Shootout next week, and the Epson Tour Championship on Oct. 2.
  • John says she likely needs top-five finishes or a victory to move into the season-ending top 15 that secure LPGA status.
  • Her season to date includes 10 cuts made in 17 starts and two top-10s, highlighted by the Four Winds Invitational title on Aug. 1.
  • She credits a month competing without a caddy for simplifying decisions and helping produce a win and a subsequent tie for ninth at Wildhorse.
  • Canadian entries in the Guardian field include Brooke Rivers (26th), Maddie Szeryk (44th), Monet Chun (70th), Josee Doyon (94th), Mary Parsons (108th), Brigitte Thibault (129th) and Yeji Kwon (155th), while Savannah Grewal is the lone Canadian at the LPGA’s Kroger Queen City Championship.
