Ali Schrock Set to Compete in Redbird Championship

NORMAL, Ill. – Recent Illinois State graduate and future women's golf graduate assistant coach Ali Schrock is set to compete in the June ANNIKA WAPT Redbird Championship hosted at Weibring Golf Club from June 18-20.

Schrock will compete in the event – an official event of the ANNIKA Women's All Pro Tour – and the top two players in the open field will receive an exemption into the Wildhorse Ladies Golf Classic from August 9-11 on the LPGA Epson Tour. The Redbird Championship will be the seventh event on the Callaway Race to Sage 2, a season-long points race beginning at the first regular season event and concluding at the ANNIKA Women's All Pro Tour Championship. The top five finishers of the points race will earn exemptions into state two of LPGA Qualifying, and an Epson Tour card.

Schrock left Illinois State after a stellar career in which she averaged 76.1 strokes per round, third-best over a career in program history. She played in 133 total rounds as a Redbird, totaling 10,122 strokes – both most in program history, while her 27 career rounds at or under par are more than any other player in program history.

The ANNIKA Women's All Pro Tour (WAPT) was established in 2019 to provide a premier developmental opportunity for female golf professionals to hone their competitive skills while preparing for a life on the Epson and LPGA Tours. Through its partnership with the LPGA's Epson Tour, the ANNIKA WAPT provides weekly opportunities for players to earn exemptions to select Epson Tour events. At the end of each season, the top five points winners on the Callaway Race to Stage 2 earn advancement directly to Stage 2 of LPGA qualifying.
