Northern Ireland’s Stephanie Meadow has secured a late entry into this week’s US Women’s Open in Pennsylvania.<\/b><\/p>\n
The 32-year-old narrowly missed out on earning a place in the major when losing a play-off at a 36-hole qualifier earlier this month but has now been handed one of four alternative spots.<\/p>\n
Meadow will be competing in her eighth US Women’s Open. <\/p>\n
The Jordanstown woman made her US Women’s Open debut as an amateur in 2012 and two years later, finished a brilliant third at Pinehurst in what was her first professional event.<\/p>\n
Meadow will go into this week’s event at Lancaster Country Club in 69th place in the LPGA’s 2024 rankings and 120th in the world rankings. <\/p>\n
Her best finish so far this season is an eighth place at the Blue Bay Championship which took place in China in early March. <\/p>\n
Since then, Meadow has missed three cuts in her six events with her failing to make the weekend at her two most recent LPGA events this month.<\/p>\n
Meadow will join Leona Maguire and Lahinch amateur Aine Donegan as the Irish players in a field, which will be headed by in-form world number one Nelly Korda.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
