Samantha Richdale of Kelowna, British Columbia and Oshawa, Ontario's Angela Buzminski remain the lone Canadians still with a chance to tee it up next season on the LPGA TOUR.
Meantime, the leaderboard shuffle continues and Stacy Lewis is the fourth player to lead or be a co-leader at the LPGA Final Qualifying Tournament, topping the field with a 15-under-par 273 (69-66-71-67).
One more day remains for players in the hunt to either gain LPGA Tour membership, or improve their status.
One stroke back is second-round co-leader Michelle Wie (69-65-72-68) at 14-under-par 274. Amy Yang, a three-time winner on the Ladies European Tour (LET) and 2008 LPGA Tour rookie, is in third at 13-under-par 275 (67-71-70-67) and will complete the leading threesome on Sunday off the Champions course's first tee at 9:46 a.m.
The five-day qualifier has been played on both the Legends and Champions courses at LPGA International. The 137-player field was cut to the low-70 and ties after Saturday's fourth round, where all players had a chance to tackle both the Champions and Legends courses for two rounds each. Tee times for the final round will begin at 7:45 a.m. in threesomes off the first and 10th tees of the Champions course, with the final groups starting at 9:46 a.m.
The top 20 players at the conclusion of the event will earn Priority List Category 11. In the event of a tie, a playoff will decide the 20th position. Players finishing in the 21st through 30th spots will earn Priority List Category 16, followed by 31st to 40th, who will receive Priority List Category 20.
