Canadians Marchand and Szeryk eager to be back on Symetra Tour. MORE:
Brittany Marchand felt like her career was on an upswing after tying for eighth at the Florida's Natural Charity Classic in early March. A week later and the Symetra Tour, like the rest of North America's professional sports, was on indefinite hold due to the COVID-19 pandemic.Brittany Marchand felt like her career was on an upswing after tying for eighth at the Florida's Natural Charity Classic in early March.
Marchand, from Orangeville, Ont., is one of four Canadians in the field at this week's FireKeepers Casino Hotel Championship in Battle Creek, Mich., a three-round tournament that tees off Friday morning. She's still eighth in the tour's rankings thanks to that strong finish in March. The Symetra Tour will still award LPGA Tour membership to the top players on the money list at the end of the year. However, five cards with partial status will be available instead of the 10 that have been distributed each year since 2008.
Like Marchand, Szeryk said she's pleased to be playing competitive golf again but has mixed feelings about the limited exemptions available for the next LPGA Tour season. The LPGA Tour resumes its schedule next week with the Drive On Championship, which Hamilton's Alena Sharp has already declared she will play in.
