By also taking the regular season title, she earned a tour card for the LPGA's 2011 events. Battling windy conditions, LaCrosse fired a 69-70-69 to tie Jennifer Song and force a one hole sudden death playoff which she won with a par on the 18th hole on the Capital Hills golf course. LaCrosse also broke the Futures Tour regular season earnings...winning $94,576 for the year. She finished in the top 10 in 15 tournaments this year. Congratulations, Cindy, on making it to the women's professional circuit!
