Three former UCLA All-Americans earned their tour cards with varying conditions Sunday, following the five-day, 90-hole marathon that is the LPGA Tour Qualification Tournament in Daytona Beach, Fla.
Maria Jose Uribe, Charlotte Mayorkas and Tiffany Joh each made the 72-hole cut and advanced to Sunday's final round.
Uribe, 19, tied for 12th after posting rounds of 75-71-74-68-69--357 (-3) and earned Priority List Category 11 status for the 2010 season. Uribe, who had earned her Duramed Futures Tour card a month ago, became one of the Tour's youngest players. She will be eligible to play in a majority of the Tour's 132-player events.
Mayorkas, 26, has spent the last two years on the LPGA circuit. An injury in 2009 forced her to re-enter Q-School and she tied for 64th place at 369 (+9) after recording rounds of 77-74-72-73-73.
The 22-year old Joh, who won the Futures Tour qualification event last month, tied for 70th with scores of 78-75-71-73-74--371 (+11). Along with Mayorkas, she earned Priority List Category 16 status. To play most regular-field LPGA Tour events in 2010, both players will have to advance through Monday qualifiers.
Two other former Bruins -- Ryann O'Toole and Hannah Jun -- did not make the 72-hole cut.
