Bradenton's Doris Chen, a rising sophomore at the University of Southern California and IMG Academies alum, was the medalist with a 2-under par 142 total in the 36-hole United States Women's Open sectional qualifier at The Oaks Club.
Other locals weren't as fortunate, as just three players advanced to Blackwolf Run, site of July's U.S. Women's Open in Koehler, Wisc.
The most notable name to miss was Jodi Ewart. The Manatee County resident has played well on the LPGA Tour this season, posting two top 10 finishes.
However, a morning round of 79 doomed her chances.
Ewart, an England native, returned an afternoon round of 73, though.
Amateur Christina Miller, a University of South Florida standout, shot 79-76--155 to miss by seven shots.
