Pavarisa Yoktuan made the Volvik Race for the Card move of the week with her outstanding play at the Epson Classic, jumping 85 spots on the money list from No. 101 to No. 16. She finished tied for third in Davidson for her seventh career top-5 finish on the Epson Tour.
Just two years ago, Yoktuan finished just outside the top 10 in the Volvik Race for the Card standings at No. 15 and headed to the Final Stage of the LPGA Qualifying looking to earn LPGA membership. The Thai native finished in the top 20 during the final stage to compete on the LPGA Tour, but made just eight cuts in 19 starts last season.
Last week in Davidson, a new No. 1 was crowned, with her victory at the Epson Classic, Jenny Haglund climbed nine spots into the top position. The rookie has posted three top 10s in four starts, including her most recent victory. She sits $5,185 ahead of No. 2 Dottie Ardina, who finished runner up in her last two starts, to continue moving up the money list.
Rounding out the Volvik Race for the Card standings No. 3 Elizabeth Szokol, No. 4 Vicky Hurst, No. 5 Pajaree Anannarukarn, No. 6 Stephanie Meadow, No. 7 Lauren Kim, No. 8 Linnea Strom, No. 9 Charlotte Thomas and No. 10 Daniela Iacobelli.
