The 2007 Futures Tour Graduates

Every year, the Top 5 finishers on the Futures Tour money list gain automatic entry to the LPGA Tour for the following year. The Futures Tour wrapped up its 2007 season on Sunday at the I Love NY Championship, so its final money list is now official:

1. Emily Bastel, $59,779
2. Allison Fouch, $54,476
3. Mollie Fankhauser, $50,128
4. Violeta Retamoza, $49,895
5. Seo-Jae Lee, $48,493

These five make up the Class of 2007 and will be LPGA Tour members in 2008. Bastel was an LPGA member in 2005-06, and Fankhauser has non-exempt status there this year. The others will be making their first regular appearances on the LPGA.
