The top three money winners on the Futures Tour automatically earn their LPGA Tour card for next season. "It's a relief," Buzminski told This Week Monday. "I went into this year knowing I was good enough to be in the top-three." Buzminski entered the Puskar tournament tournament second on the money list, but had to outplay her nearest pursuers, Ju Yun Kim and Jung Yeon Lee, both of Seoul, Korea, in order to get her card. The Donevan Collegiate grad shot rounds of 71-67-72-210, to finish at six-under-par. She completed her round Monday after rain halted play Sunday. "I really don't look at the score- board, but I was a little nervous Sunday because the greens were so soft, I was spinning the ball off. I felt like I was getting penalized for good shots." Yeon Lee shot 72-71-71-214, earned $1,113 to finish in third place on the money list with $48,272. Kim earned $ 1,968 after shooting 71 -70-70- 211, but missed out on her LPGA card by just $211, finishing with $48,061. Beth Bauer cruised to the money title, earning $76,467.
