DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Nobody passed the Olympic torch to Mexico’s Gaby Lopez when she walked off the 18th green Sunday after earning her tour card at the final stage of LPGA Q-School.
Maybe somebody should have.
Lopez could have passed it on to Israel’s Laetitia Beck and the Philippines’ Cyna Rodriguez.
They may have been the biggest winners of all earning full LPGA membership, because their tour cards put them on a fast track to qualifying for the Olympics next summer.
“I came on a mission,” said Lopez, who closed with a 1-over-par 73 to tie for 10th.
