Notes:
There was a three-woman playoff between Blair Lamb of Flat Rock, North Carolina, Jaclyn Sweeney of Bradenton, Florida and Whitney Wade of Glaskow, Kentucky to determine the final spot and the order of the top two alternate spots. On the first playoff hole, Sweeney sank a 20-foot putt for birdie to capture the final qualifying spot. Wade, who landed her approach shot on the back side of the green, converted her two-putt for par to capture the first alternate spot and Lamb bogeyed the hole to finish as the second alternate.

There was also a playoff for the third and fourth alternate positions played between Joan Delk of Alpharetta, Amanda Mathis of Picayune, Mississippi, Jean Reynolds of Newnan, and Kristin Price of Dandridge, Tennessee.Price and Mathis birdied the first playoff hole and Price went on to win the second playoff hole and take the third alternate position.
