Narragansett's Anna Grzebien, a former NCAA Individual Champion and All-American at Duke, finished tied for second and advanced to the final stage of LPGA Qualifying School at the Plantation Golf and Country Club in Venice, Fla.

Grzebien carded rounds of 71, 69, 71 and 72 for a 5-under par total.

Grzebien, who graduated from Duke in 2007 this past spring, will attempt to obtain her LPGA card Nov. 28 - Dec. 2 at the LPGA International. Grzebien is familiar with the course, as she led the Blue Devils to their third consecutive NCAA Championship there back in May.

“I played well all week and was just consistent with fairways and greens,” said the 22-year-old Grzebien. “It was good to come out here and play solid.”

The top 30 and ties advanced to the final stage of qualifying.

Grzebien was the 2005 NCAA Individual Champion and three-time All-America for the Blue Devils over her career. Her play in Sunriver, Ore., in 2005 guided Duke to its third NCAA Championship and started the streak of three in a row that the Blue Devils currently have. Her 26 career top 10 finishes at Duke ranks tied for fourth, while her only two wins of her stellar career came in the 2005 NCAA East Regional and NCAA Championship.
