HAWORTH, N.J. - Following a 36-hole qualifier, Caroline Masson, Maude Leblanc, Nanna Koerstz Madsen, and Yan Liu have all earned a trip to the 79th U.S. Women’s Open Championship, set to be contested May 30 – June 2 at Lancaster Country Club. All four women are professionals.
Masson, of Germany, finished as medalist, carding rounds of 64 and 67 to finish at 13-under par. She’s been a member of the LPGA Tour since 2010 and has been a part of four Solheim Cup Teams.
Leblanc, of Canada and Madsen, of Denmark both turned in a 132 (-12), while Liu of China finished at 133.
