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.
