Lauren Walsh plans globetrotting schedule to try to make LPGA Tour finale

Lauren Walsh has targeted earning a place in the LPGA Tour’s season-ending CME Globe Tour Championship in November as the icing on the cake of what so far has been a terrific rookie season on the US circuit.

The Castlewarden player is currently 86th on the LPGA Tour order of merit, with the top-60 exempt into the tour finale at Tubúron Golf Club in Florida, while the top-100 retain full tour cards. And Walsh’s itinerary when the LPGA Tour resumes in late-September after the Solheim Cup will see her start a busy run-in by playing in Arkansas, Hawaii, Asia (with tour stops in China, South Korea, Malaysia and Japan) before returning for back-to-back weeks in Florida.
