Isabella Fierro of Mexico, who lost her LPGA card in 2024, is off to a good start in getting it back in 2026.
Fierro birdied Nos. 14, 15 and 17 at the Atlantic Beach Country Club on March 7 and posted a final-round 67 to win the Epson Tour Atlantic Beach Classic by four shots at 13-under-par 200.
Isabelle Fierro of Mexico, playing in the LPGA Meijer Classic on June 13, 2024 in Grand Rapids, Mich., won the Epson Tour’s Atlantic Beach Classic on March 7 in Atlantic Beach, Fla.
Fierro, 25 and a former Oklahoma State player, earned $37,500 and 500 points for her victory in the opening Epson Tour event of the season. The top 15 on the season-long points list will earn LPGA Tour cards for 2027.

Three players tied for second: Kaitlyn Papp Budde (69), Annaelle Pancake Webb (72) and Maria Fassi (65), another native of Mexico who won the 2019 NCAA individual championship for Arkansas. Webb rebounded from a slow start and birdied Nos. 16, 17 and 18, and Fassi birdied five holes on the back nine.
It wasn’t enough to catch Fierro, who played on the LPGA in 2024 and finished 119th on the money list to loser her status. She got her LPGA card with a ninth-place finish on the Epson Tour money list in 2023, with seven top-10 finishes and one victory.
Jessica Porvasnik of Jacksonville shot 66 that included eight birdies but a double-bogey at No. 16 and a bogey at No. 17. She tied for fifth at 8-under.
