An interesting dilemma has arisen for Ashley Prange, who won the Big
Break V in Hawaii. She's currently 4th on the Futures Tour money list
with 3 tournaments to go. The top 5 get their LPGA tour card for next
year so all she has to do is play reasonably well and she's probably
in.
The problem for Ashley is that she's missing this week's tournament
because of the sponsor's exemption she won into the LPGA Safeway
Classic in Portland this weekend. So she gets to tee it up with the big
girls this weekend at the possible risk of not being able to play her
way onto the tour next year.
She was interviewed on TGC last night and said (paraphrasing) that
there was no way that she would miss the LPGA event, that she owed it
to herself and the sponsors to participate. It would be ironic if
winning the "Big Break" cost her the chance to earn her way onto the
tour.

Question - does any LPGA money count toward the Future's Tour? As you state,
it would be a shame to loose out on one end, but I cannot fault her decision.
She's played well, and has done more for TGC, than some earlier winners have.
Regardless of the outcome, I wish her well in the persuit of her dream.
