Brittany Kelly, a 2011 graduate of Ball State and four-year letterwinner on the women's golf team, has advanced to Stage III of the LPGA Qualifying Tournament.
Kelly advanced out of Stage II, which was held at the Plantation Golf and Country Club in Venice, Fla. The top 70 scores and ties advanced to Stage III. Kelly managed a 72-74-74-72=292 to tie for 55th and advance in the 234-person field.
Kelly will compete in Stage III Nov. 30, to Dec. 4, at the LPGA International in Daytona Beach, Fla. The tournament will be a 90-hole tournament with a cut after 72 holes to the top 70 players and ties, and will consist of 144 players.
Kelly became the first female golfer in Ball State history to be selected for the NCAA Regional when she competed at the NCAA Central Regional as a senior in May of 2011. She posted a 69 at the 2007 Mid-American Conference Tournament Preview, which ties for the lowest 18 holes in Ball State history. Kelly averaged 75.06 as a junior, which is the best one year average in Cardinals history, and she set the Ball State career low average mark with a 76.42 mark.
