The field for the LPGA’s first major of the year is complete.
Five players played their way into the 132-player field for this week’s Chevron Championship during last week’s JM Eagle LA Championship – Jenny Bae (79), Jeongeun Lee5 (94), Pornanong Phatlum (94), Emily Kristine Pedersen (97) and Caroline Inglis (114). Bae tied for 11th in Los Angeles while Lee5 and Phatlum shared 20th, as they joined Pedersen and Inglis in moving inside the cutoff via the current LPGA points list.
The alternate list starts like this: Soo Bin Joo, Brittany Altomare, Amanda Doherty, Perrine Delacour and Xiaowen Yin.
The Chevron begins Thursday at The Club at Carlton Woods’ Jack Nicklaus Signature Course in The Woodlands, Texas.
