No results posted yet.....but MG Women's Golf tweeted that she's -1, thru 6. Goes for four days. (and it says it's Stage 1....so not sure how many hoops you have to jump through to make the tour). I'm guessing the Synetra tour....is their minor league tour (like Korn Ferry is for the Men's). Good luck Lauren!!!!

Great find, JM. Says they won't post scores until after the player's round is complete. We will be dependent on MGWG!

An update from MG Women's Golf (on Twitter). So cool that Coach Akers is caddying for Lauren:
 

Lauren’s in the clubhouse, with her caddy,

⁩, after a 1-over 73 at Q-School in California Tomorrow she’s at Shadow Ridge for Day 2. Top 125 + ties after 3 days move to Day 4. Top 95 + ties after that move on to Stage II.

Lots of golfers in this. 333 or so.

After round 1....Lauren would make the top 125 cut. We'll see what happens in rounds 2 and 3. Good start though...

Looks like she finished.....-3 for the day...and is -2 overall. This may change.....but as of now....tied for 35th. Quite a jump from 104th. Remember she just needs to be in the top 125, after three rounds. So far, so good.

Lauren with an even 72 today....and looks like will easily make the cut.. As of right now....she's 36th......only has to be in the top 125 to make it to tomorrow. Another great day!

Thanks for the updates @SUMG

Lauren had a final round of 72...finishes -2 overall....tied for 38th. Easily advances to the next qualifying tournament in October. Way to go Lauren!

Well done to miss Cox.

So looking at it, she is now guaranteed at least some sort of status on the Symetra tour (essentially the developmental tour), with a chance to improve upon that through stage II, and -if she gets there- the actual Q-school, which is a two week event, where 45 cards are given out. Looks like to make the actual Q-school she'll need to be top 30 and ties at stage 2.

Good info. I wonder if the top 25 (or some #) on the Symetra Tour.....get to go to the LPGA the next season (like with Korn Ferry to PGA).

Wikipedia tells me that usually the top ten money winners get cards. The other part is that there are a lot of direct access spots for the second  and also some to the last stage of the Q-school on the symetra tour, so also another way to get close to the card.
