University of New Mexico senior women’s golfer Jodi Ewart last week finished in a tie for sixth place at the Duramed FUTURES Tour 2010 Qualifying Tournament in Winter Haven, Fla. She covered five rounds in 4-under 356 (69-73-73-67-74) and has now gained full exemption to the 2010 Futures Tour. Ewart will be able to turn pro next spring after completing her collegiate eligibility.
After leaving UNM, Ewart will play on the Futures Tour for the remainder of the 2010 season. If she finishes in the top-10 of the money list on the Futures Tour, Ewart could earn her LPGA Tour card without having to go to Q-school in December of 2010.
