This Q-School course II takes place at the Plantation Golf and Country Club in Venice, Florida. This second stage offers the best of the players a place on the last phase of the access cards: the Q-Series. This last phase of the Qualifying School will be played over two weeks, from December 2 to December 13. Qualified players will fight for a green fee on the LPGA Tour.

After this first tour in Florida, it is Pauline Roussin-Bouchard who leads the dance. Starting from 10, she signed four birdies on her first nine holes. She then goes on with eight pars and ends with a birdie on the par 5 of hole 9.

Since her victory at the Didriksons Skafto Open, the player coached by Alain Alberti has followed with a podium at the Lacoste Ladies Open de France, then a top 10 last week during the Aramco Team Series in New York. We hope to see her get her LPGA Tour card this year.

Behind her, eight players are in ambush at once. In 10th place is Agathe Laisné. the 22-year-old turned up 69 (-3) for her first round and is in a good position to advance to the final stage of the Qualifying School.

Julie Aimé and Élodie Chapelet are also involved in this event. The Niçoise Julie Aimé is 49th, she played 72 (PAR), 3 birdies for as many bogeys. 

Élodie Chapelet returns a card with one more move: 73 (+1), she is 71st.
