Jiwon Jeon earned medalist honors by four shots on the strength of an afternoon 5-under par 67, and Emily Kristine Pedersen and Caroline Inglis each survived a three-for-two playoff to earn tickets into the U.S. Women's Open through qualifying at Rainier Golf & Country Club on Tuesday.Jeon birdied four of her final seven holes to surge clear of the field and secure a spot in her second career U.S. Women's Open and first as a professional.
"Obviously, missing a 2-footer is not nice, but Mikey – my caddie – just said ‘hey, get on with it, let’s birdie the next' and then we did that, so it's good."Pedersen finished tied for sixth in this weekend's LPGA event in Los Angeles, quickly flew to Seattle to play a practice round on Monday, and then needed 39 holes to secure her spot."It just shows that it was worth us making the trip here and getting through," Pedersen said.
