Isabelle Beisiegel became the first female player to earn a playing card on a men's professional golf tour, tying for ninth place Friday in the Canadian Tour's Spring Qualifying School to take one of the last two nonexempt spots.
Beisiegel, a 32-year-old Montreal native who played at the University of Oklahoma, had a 4-under 68 in the third round, then closed with a 75 in rainy conditions to finish at 8-over 296 at Morningstar Golf Club.
