Will be making her second appearance at the U.S. Women's Open
MEMPHIS – Former University of Memphis women's golfer and current LPGA tour member Marissa Steen carded a 2-under 142 at a sectional qualifier at Woodlands Country Club in Texas to qualify for the U.S. Women's Open, being held July 13-16 at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, N.J.
This is the second time Steen has qualified for the US Women's Open, also qualifying for the event in 2014, the same year she was named the Symetra Tour Player of the Year, earning her first LPGA tour card.
Steen shot a 154 over two rounds and missed the cut in that first Open appearance, played at Pinehurst Resort Course No. 2 in North Carolina.
Steen had nine top 10 finishes on the Symetra Tour last year and earned her way back to the LPGA Tour for a second time in 2017.
This year, she is currently ranked 132 on the Race to the CME Globe standings and has made the cut in five of 10 events on the season, including a tie for 30th at the ISPS Handa Women's Australian Open.
The lone Memphis graduate to play on the LPGA Tour, Steen is one of 25 qualifiers from sectionals to qualify for the 2017 U.S. Women's Open.
