Leblanc is back on the Symetra Tour this year after spending most of the past three seasons on the LPGA Tour. She lost her full status for this year after finishing 116th on the money list in 2018.

The tournament has been kind to Canadians in the recent past, with Sue Kim of Langley, B.C., winning it in 2015 and Richdale taking the title the next year.

The Symetra Tour is the feeder circuit to the LPGA Tour. The top 10 on the money list at season’s end earn LPGA cards.
