In Venice, Florida, the blue, white and red flag is once again in the spotlight thanks to Pauline Roussin-Bouchard. Seventh in the Aramco Team Series in New York, the Frenchwoman won the Stage II of the Qualifying School this week. It is now only one step away from entering the LPGA Tour.

On the last round, she returns her best card of the week, seven strokes under par. It's also the best tournament card on the Bobcat Course at Plantation Golf & Country Club. She finished at -19 for the tournament with four cards of 67-70-67-65. On these four laps, it's only two bogeys and two double-bogeys for twenty-five birdies.
