Amateur Asterisk Talley finished in a tie for 38th at the ShopRite LPGA Classic presented by Acer, a back-door top-40 result that saw the 16-year-old earn her fourth point in the LPGA Elite Amateur Pathway standings.

This week’s event in Galloway, N.J., marked the teenager’s fourth LPGA Tour start of the 2025 season, as she also played in the JM Eagle LA Championship presented by Plastpro, The Chevron Championship and the 80th U.S. Women’s Open presented by Ally at Erin Hills Golf Course in Erin, Wis., and it was her first time making the cut on Tour since the 2024 U.S. Women’s Open at Lancaster Country Club.

The point she earned with her T38 showing in the Garden State is the first LEAP point Talley has collected since she captured two points by competing as a member of the United States Curtis Cup Team last August, what was her first appearance in the biennial amateur team competition. The Chowchilla, Calif., native picked up her first-ever LEAP point by making the cut at the U.S. Women’s Open last summer in Lancaster, Penn.

Talley is now 16 points away from the 20-point threshold required to earn LPGA Tour membership via the LPGA Elite Amateur Pathway.

The 2025 season is the first year of the new program, which provides athletes the opportunity to secure an LPGA Tour card via their accomplishments as an amateur. Englishwoman Lottie Woad is tracking to become the first player to earn Tour status via LEAP and is currently at the top of the standings with 18 total points.
