NOTES:

The LPGA Final Qualifying Tournament begins this week, as 140 players will battle it out in an effort to earn a spot on the LPGA Tour. The low 20 scores and ties will earn LPGA Tour cards for 2009.

Last year, Jane Park posted a three-under 69 in the final round to win the LPGA Final Qualifying Tournament. She finished at 17-under-par 343, which matched the tournament record set by Ai Miyazato in 2005. Park, who fired an opening round 65, won by three strokes over Su A Kim.

Park will not be on hand to defend her title, as she finished 29th on the 2008 LPGA Tour money list. Park, the 2004 U.S. Women's Amateur champion, earned $631,357. Her best finish was a tie for second at the SBS Open at Turtle Bay in February and the P&G Beauty NW Arkansas LPGA Championship in July.

Yani Tseng earned her LPGA Tour card by finishing sixth last year at this event. Tseng captured her first LPGA Tour event at the McDonald's LPGA Championship in June and is currently ranked second in the world.

Michelle Wie will try to earn her LPGA Tour card for 2009 this week. Wie's best finish in 2008 was a tie for 12th at the CN Canadian Women's Open in August. She finished second at the 2005 McDonald's LPGA Championship.

In 2005, Miyazato finished at 17-under-par 343 for a 12-shot win over Libby Smith and Lee Ann Walker-Cooper, the largest margin of victory since the tournament began in 1973.

The first 72 holes are played on both the Legends and Champions courses at LPGA International, while players play only the Champions course during the final round. The cut will reduce the field to the low 70 players and ties after 72 holes.
