PINEHURST, N.C. – Looking for her 2020 LPGA Tour card, former Duke University women's golf standout Laetitia Beck heads to Pinehurst, N.C., this week as she will compete in the second annual LPGA Q-Series from Oct. 23 to Nov. 2 along with 97 other golfers.
The golfers will compete in a 144-hole cumulative stroke play format. It will feature a total of eight rounds over two, four-day segments with the top-45 finishers and ties receiving Category 14 membership on the LPGA Tour Priority List for 2020. Competitors outside the top-20 also earn Category C status on the Symetra Tour. A cut to the top-80 and ties is set after the sixth round and the unofficial purse of $150,000 will be distributed at the event's completion.
A total of 24 countries are represented at LPGA Q-Series, led by the United States with 46 players then followed by the Republic of Korea at the next highest of seven competitors.
Beck, who hails from Caesarea, Israel, has earned $297,609 on the LPGA Tour since graduating from Duke in 2014. In 2019, she earned $48,635 on the Symetra Tour to finish 26th on the money list. It will mark the sixth straight year Beck as gone through LPGA Qualifying and the former All-America will look to advance through for the sixth consecutive year as well. Last season in the inaugural Q-Series, Beck finished 33rd overall with rounds of 70, 77, 75, 75, 71, 69, 73 and 73 for a total of 583 over eight rounds.
During week one of Q-Series from Oct. 23-26, the first four rounds will be contested on the George and Tom Fazio-designed Pinehurst Course No. 6. The second week of play moves to Jack Nicklaus-designed Pinehurst Course No. 9 for the last four rounds from Oct. 30-Nov. 2.
Action begins at 7:50 a.m. ET all eight days. After 36 holes, players will be re-paired by score and stay with the same group for both the third and fourth rounds. The low score wave goes off in the morning of round three and afternoon of round four. Meanwhile, the high score wave follows the same method, but opposite the low score.
Players will again be re-paired by score after 72 holes and stay with the same group for both the fifth and sixth rounds. The high score wave goes off in the morning of round five and afternoon of round six, while the low score wave follows the same method only opposite the high score. Finally, players will be re-paired by score after 108 holes and 126 holes with leaders off No. 1 tee last in both the seventh and eighth rounds.
Beck, a member of Duke's 2014 NCAA Championship squad, will open play Wednesday at 12:49 p.m. off hole No. 1. She will then feature an 8:34 a.m., time off No. 10 on Thursday, Oct. 24.
