The 2018 LPGA Q-Series final leaderboard is headed by winner Jeongeun6 Lee, who won the eight-round event held over two 72-hole tournaments at Pinehurst No. 6 and Pinhurst No. 7 in North Carolina.

Lee finished at 18-under 558 to beat Wake Forest standout and current amateur Jennifer Kupcho by a shot. Mel Reid finished fifth.

A total of 48 players earned 2019 LPGA cards in Category 14. Amateur players have the option of deferring taking up LPGA status until July 1 so they can complete their competitive amateur seasons. Kupcho is expected to be among those deferring. The other players in the 102-person starting field end up with Symetra Tour status for next season.

Lee won the winner's share of the $150,000 purse.
