Jaclyn Jansen Misses Cut at Golf Tourney

FORSYTH -- Jaclyn Jansen, an Effingham native, competed in the Symetra Tour, Road to the LPGA, 32nd annual Decatur-Forsyth Classic Presented by Tate & Lyle and Decatur Park District at Hickory Point Golf Course over the weekend.

Jansen shot a 76 and a 74 for a 150 total but did not make the cut.

The Decatur-Forsyth Classic began a stretch of eight tournaments in 10 weeks to conclude the 2016 season. The tournament was first played at Hickory Point Golf Course in 1985.

The top 144 aspiring LPGA Tour stars from the United States and 26 countries around the globe competed for $130,000. The winner earned $19,500 and more importantly moved up the Volvik Race for the Card money list. With just eight events left in the season, each dollar earned is significant. The top 10 on the final money list after the Symetra Tour Championship from October 13-16 will earn LPGA Tour membership for the 2017 season.

Jansen was competing in her sixth Symetra Tour event of the season. Jansen, who finished T43 at 2015 LPGA Qualifying Tournament to earn conditional LPGA status, has also played in seven LPGA events this year.
