UTC's Wolf Moves Closer Ladies European Tour

MARRAKECH, Morocco – Former Chattanooga Mocs women’s golf standout Christine Wolf (2008-11) is one step closer to full-time status on the Ladies European Tour. Wolf shot 4-under par 68 in her final round Sunday to end up sixth in pre-qualifying field B.

Wolf posted cards of 70, 69, 73 and 68 for a total of 280. At 8-under, she ended up eight shots off the pace set by Morocco’s Maha Haddioui. The top 45 from both pre-qualifying fields join 60 others vying for 2013 tour cards.

Those 150 are slated for five rounds, 90 holes, of play beginning Thursday, Dec. 13, and ending Monday, Dec. 17. Qualifying remains at Al Maaden and Amelkis Golf Clubs in Marrakech. The top 30 and ties earn full tour status.

Wolf’s 68 included five birdies and one bogey including birdieing four of the last five holes after her bogey on the par-5 13th. She tallied 16 birdies and 48 pars for the event, shooting minus-7 at Al Maaden and 1-under at Amelkis.

The native of Igls, Austria, owns school records for 18- (66), 36- (141) and 54-hole (209) totals. She won the 2012 Crete Ladies Open in October on the LET Access Series.
