The two Rhode Islanders competing in qualifying school for the PGA and LPGA Tours both continued moving forward today.

Point Judith’s Anna Grzebien, the former NCAA champion at Duke, jumped from a tie for 14th into a tie for 8th in the LPGA finals at Daytona Beach, Fla. She had a 2-under 70 to stand at 4-under 212 through three rounds of the five-round event. The top 17 finishers earn full LPGA cards and the next 17 earn non-exempt status.

Jane Park, the leader throughout, had 71 to maintain her lead at 10-under. Those ahead of Grzebien include her former Duke teammate, Connecticut’s Liz Janagelo, who had 70 for 211

At the PGA Tour finals at Orange County National outside Orlando, Cumberland’s Brad Adamonis kept moving up the leaderboard. He had four birdies and two bogeys for a 2-under 70 to stand at 6-under 210. He began the day in a tie for 59th and finished in a tie for 46th.

Adamonis now is within two shots of the cutline in the 108-hole event. The top 25 players, and ties, will earn PGA Tour cards. Adamonis already is assured of fully exempt status on the Nationwide Tour.

Tour veteran Frank Lickliter continued on the lead although he settled for a 71 after two straight 62s. Among those making big jumps today were Northeast Amateur champion Dustin Johnson who had a 67 to vault into a tie for 10th at 10-under.
