LPGA Tour rookie Gabriela Ruffels and 15-year-old amateur Asterisk Talley have qualified for the 2024 U.S. Women’s Open.
Ruffels, 24, finished first at Monday’s qualifying tournament at San Joaquin Country Club in Fresno, Calif., firing rounds of 70 and 66 to finish at 6 under.
Talley was the runner-up and one stroke behind after carding rounds of 68 and 69. She is headed to her first U.S. Women’s Open, starting May 30 at Lancaster Country Club in Lancaster, Pa.
Talley, a California native, won the Junior Invitational at Sage Valley in Graniteville, S.C., in March and finished in eighth place at the Augusta National Women’s Amateur in April.
Ruffels will be making her fourth appearance at the U.S. Women’s Open. The Australian finished tied for 13th at the 2020 tournament in Houston.
