I feel like the chances of them making the LPGA Tour are signficantly overblown at this point.

They just potentially qualified for the Epson Tour, which is like the PGA Tour version of the Korn Ferry Tour and only the top 5 players qualify for the next LPGA season (unless things have changed). And the qualification for the Epson Tour isn't even official because of the difficulty of the Tour they won on which is very very low.

I highly doubt this dude will ever make the LPGA Tour. I think it's more telling that a very average male golfer won a pro event, regardless of the Tour. He won shooting +4 over over 3 days on a shorter course than if he were playing versus the men.

In comparison, a college golfer just won a PGA Tour event shooting -29 on a much longer course.

The only reason this person won't make the LPGA Tour is because relative to other male pro golfers, he's not that great of a golfer. If a legitimately good golfer switched over to women's events, they would destroy the field.
