High school senior Morgan Pressel, in danger of failing the first stage of LPGA Tour qualifying, answered with a 9-under 63 on Friday to finish among the top 30 and advance to the finals in December. The 17-year-old Pressel, who tied for second in the U.S. Women's Open and won the U.S. Women's Amateur, was on the bubble starting the final round at Mission Hills Country Club until she ran off a string of birdies and thought briefly about a 59. She missed four putts inside 6 feet.
