As the off season is in full effect for most of the golf world, many of the non-established hopefuls were wide eyed and ready to earn their place at Q-School. I want to give Congratulations to former Big Breaker (Sandals Resorts & Dominican Republic) Sara ‘No H’ Brown for earning a spot on the LPGA Tour with a T20 at ladies Q-School. Sara was one of the more popular and personable girls on each of her seasons, and is highly respected as a fierce competitor on the golf course.
The former Michigan State standout finished 3rd on BB Sandals falling short to eventual winner and fellow Big Tener Ohio State’s Carling Coffing. On BB Dominican she was knocked off the show by the hotheaded Brian, miraculously saved by her team at the 11th hour and then exacted her revenge by defeating Brian in the finale. She still fell short of MVP status as that was clinched by the lovely Blair O’Neal.
Brown will join Kristy McPherson as ex-Big Breakers playing regularly on the LPGA in 2011. I’m sure Miss Brown hopes she can duplicate McPherson’s success on the Tour. Although she has yet to win a tournament, McPherson has numerous top ten finishes including three in majors in 2009. Her success has shown worldwide as she has risen to 32nd in the official Rolex World Rankings.
If Brown wants to move up the ladies Big Break success ladder she has a ways to go. Obviously McPherson’s success is the bar to reach toward, but others have made their mark recently. Sandals winner Carling Coffing is coming off of a top 25 finish at the 2010 LET Dubai Masters and has a cash at the Lorena Ochoa Invitational. Blair O’Neal will get her chance this season too with an exemption in the Kia Classic. But right now Sara Brown is in the best position to gain ground on McPherson with a successful 2011 season as a card-carrying member of the LPGA.
