Lauren Stephenson of Lexington, S.C. blew away the field at the U.S. Women's Open Qualifier hosted by Mid Pines Inn & Golf Club. Stephenson finished with an impressive 7-under-par total of 137 in the 36-hole qualifier to claim medalist honors by five strokes. Stephenson started off strong with three birdies and no bogeys in her first nine holes, which propelled her to an opening round of 3-under-par 69. After a short rest between rounds, Stephenson again got off to a hot start in round two with four birdies in her first nine holes and finished strong with not a single bogey in round two. Stephenson is a Lexington, S.C. native and turned professional in 2019 after playing college golf at the University of Alabama. Stephenson competes on the LPGA Tour and played in the 2016 and 2017 U.S. Women's Open Championship as an amateur.
After storms struck Southern Pines, N.C. in the evening, round two was suspended with seven groups left to finish three holes or less.

On the second playoff hole, all four players hit their approaches within 12 feet of the hole. Harford and Kim sunk their birdie putts to claim the remaining two qualifying spots. Harford is currently a professional competing on the Symetra Tour and this will be her first U.S. Women's Open appearance.
