Amy Anderson - LPGA Tour

[bisonaudit]

Update on the how much she earned toward the $125K you think she needs?

Amy's at $100,705 for the year, 74th on the money list. My revised estimate to stay in the Top 80 is ~$128,000 so about ~$27,000 to go.

The field isn't as strong this week in Portland but the purse is smaller, too, $1.3 million. I've got her at 62% to make the cut based on adjusted scoring averages year to date.

10th place will probably pay in the neighborhood of $27k.

-1 today. The first wave is finishing up and the afternoon groups are just getting started and she's T21.

Projected cut is EVEN. 76 players at PAR or better after the first day. Typically scoring has been a little better on Fridays, but not always. EVEN looks like the number but it could go to -1.

Rough weekend for Amy. Finished T75, and 4 of the current top 10 were trailing her on the money list.

Slipped to 82 on the money list. I think she may have made the field for the Evian in two weeks though. That would be good. Second largest purse on tour. I didn't see anything official on the LPGA or the tournament site but Wikipedia seems to think she's in.

Officially in the field for the final major of the year in two weeks. Evian Championship in France.

97 of the top 100 on the LPGA Money List are in the field. Second largest purse of the year, so a solid performance could move her back into the Top 80. But of course the same is true for everyone near the line because essentially all of them are in the field.

I've got her about 52% to make the cut based on year-to-date adjusted scoring averages.

My last couple of rough guesses about how much money would be needed to make the Top 80 excluded this event because I was misunderstanding how the field was determined and had assumed that more European Tour Players and fewer from deep on the LPGA money list would be in the field. With this big purse included I'm now estimating that it'll take between $145,000 and $150,000 to secure a card for next season, so Amy needs to earn roughly another $45,000 before the season ends.

That's up something like $20,000 from the last guess. About half of that is the addition of the Evian purse and the other half was a result of last week's tournament in Portland where Amy made the cut and cashed a check but a number of player who were behind her on the money list played better still. Sunday was Amy's poorest round of the season, so we're looking forward to a bounce back next week.

A finish in the Top 20 against this stacked field would get most of that done all in one go, but obviously that's a huge ask, maybe 5% chance. Top 40 would probably get her half way home, that's more like 18%.

Good luck Amy!
