LAS VEGAS  (UNLVRebels.com) - Former UNLV women's golf standout Dana Finkelstein will be playing on the LPGA Tour for a second time in 2019 after finishing 10th in the final 2018 Symetra Tour Volvik Race for the Card money list standings. The Symetra Tour, officially dubbed The Road to the LPGA, announced its 10 card-winners during a ceremony in Daytona Beach, Florida, following the conclusion of the Symetra Tour Championship.

Finkelstein first played on the LPGA Tour in 2017, where she ranked first in driving accuracy, after finishing seventh in the 2016 Symetra Tour standings.

Finkelstein, whose final money tally totaled $60,168, was consistent all year long with two runner-up finishes and a total of 11 top-20 performances. She had the best par-3 average (2.892) on the Symetra Tour this season and ranked third in driving accuracy at 84.9 percent.

"It means so much to me getting back to the LPGA for the 2019 season," said Finkelstein via Symetra Tour. "Having played on the LPGA in 2017, I feel more prepared this time around and I am excited to see what is in store for next year. I'm ready to test my game with the best in the world again."

Finkelstein is the fourth former UNLV golfer to qualify for the LPGA Tour, along with Hwanhee Lee 05', Sunny Oh 04' and Therese Koelbaek 11'. Both Finkelstein and Koelbeck played under head coach Amy Bush-Herzer. Finkelstein became the first to earn a spot on the tour via the Symetra Tour in 2016.

A Chandler, Ariz., native, Finkelstein played for the Rebels from 2011-15, becoming one of the most successful golfers in program history. During her time at UNLV she earned five individual wins, including three during her senior year -- a season that culminated with her finishing as the runner-up for the ANNIKA Award, an honor given to the top women's collegiate golfer in the country. The three-time Mountain West Golfer of the Year was just the second player in UNLV history to earn All-American first team honors during her collegiate career and helped the Rebels earn a Mountain West title in 2013.

Bush and the current Rebel are gearing up for their annual home tournament - the Las Vegas Collegiate Showdown - which is set for Oct. 21-23 at Boulder Creek Golf Club. Both UNLV and senior Elizabeth Prior will be defending titles from the 2017 tournament.
