Nelly Korda and Lilia Vu have clinched their spots for Paris. Rose Zhang, No. 9 in the Rolex Rankings, advanced to the weekend in Sahalee and will likely be going.

Lexi Thompson would need to win or finish solo second to jump into the top 15 and secure a spot. Ally Ewing, who began Saturday in the top 10 at Sahalee, is No. 19 in the rankings and would need a solo fifth or better to have a chance. Alison Corpuz (ranked 23rd) needs to finish solo third or better.

Jennifer Kupcho must win to have a chance.

Allison Lee (No. 18) and Meghan Khang (No. 16) missed the cut and have been eliminated from the race.
