ONALASKA — A visa snafu forced Chloe Chan to enter the Sentry Wisconsin State Women’s Open on June 9th week as an amateur, but if the former University of Wisconsin golfer plays the kind of golf she did this week she’ll be cashing checks as a professional golfer just as soon as that time comes. In fact, it could come as soon as this weekend.
Chan had no sooner closed the books on a wire-to-wire State Women’s Open victory at La Crosse Country Club than she was set for another long drive — this one to Harbor Springs, Mich., where she will make her Epson Tour debut June 13th at the Great Lakes Championship at The Highlands. She has conditional status on the LPGA Tour’s top developmental circuit as a result of her reaching the second stage of LPGA Tour/Epson Tour Qualifying School last fall.
“I just kind of wanted to kick-start my summer,” Chan said of entering the event. “I’ve signed up for Epson events and I’ve been on a wait list. I didn’t know when I’d be getting my first start.”
Indeed, Chan looked sharp in every phase of her game for round 3 in firing one of only two sub-par rounds on the day (Beaver Dam’s McKenna Nelson had the other) with at 1-under-par 71. Her 54-hole total of 2-under 214 was good for a three-stroke victory over second-round co-leader Sophia Connett, the women’s golf coach at UW-Stout.
A great deal of gratitude goes out to Sentry Insurance for their continued title sponsorship of the Wisconsin State Women’s Open. With their support along with supporting partners, The Suter Ward Group at Morgan Stanley and TaylorMade Golf. The Wisconsin PGA would also like to express our appreciation to the staff and membership at La Crosse CC Country Club.
