Solid three-week stretch on LPGA changes 2025 outlook for this former Stanford standout
Solid three-week stretch on LPGA changes 2025 outlook for this former Stanford standout A month ago, Aline Krauter was playing on the LET and Epson Tours, trying to make her way back to the LPGA. On Sunday at the ShopRite LPGA Classic, the former Stanford standout posted a career-best T-5 finish to vault into the top 80 on the CME Race to the Globe Points list. Now she's off to Oakmont to watch golf rather than play it. "Just to see something else, a change of scenery," said 25-year-old Krauter of heading to the men's U.S. Open to spectate, "and then go home, rest up, and get ready for the next major, which is super exciting. "My season was up in the air the last couple weeks, and I solidified everything with the last couple weeks and finishes, so I'm just super excited." Aline Krauter played into the U.S. Open Krauter's first LPGA start of 2025 was in late May at the Mexico Riviera Maya Open at Mayakoba, where she finished in the top 25. The German played her way into the U.S. Women's Open, despite a slow-play penalty at sectional qualifying, and finished T-28 at Erin Hills, earning $82,017. Krauter then shot 66-69-68 at Seaview's Bay Course to finish at 10 under for the week, five strokes back of winner Jennifer Kupcho. She's now 71st on the CME points list (top 80 at season's end keep their full cards). She'll make her second major championship start of the season later this month at the KPMG Women's PGA in Texas. "I've played really solid golf over the last couple weeks, just nice to see everything come together," said Krauter. "My weekend golf has been pretty shaky, so to be under par again today is nice. Nice to see the golf game is trending in the right direction." Other players making big moves in the CME points list after ShopRite include Wei-Ling Hsu, who also took a share of fifth, Brooke Matthews (T-11) and Azahara Munoz (T-5). Runner-up Ilhee Lee, a part-time player on the LPGA, didn't have any CME points entering the week and moved to 47th.

Mercury sign ex-Dream 1st-round pick after Alyssa Thomas injury
The post Mercury sign ex-Dream 1st-round pick after Alyssa Thomas injury appeared first on ClutchPoints. With Alyssa Thomas being on the injury report and not being on the Phoenix Mercury's two-game road trip, the team signed former Atlanta Dream first-round pick Haley Jones to a hardship contract. Advertisement Jones was previously with the Dream. She was in all 40 games and had 24 starts. In those games, she averaged 3.9 points, 2.2 rebounds, and 2.1 assists in 17.8 minutes. However, the Dream's first-round pick was a star at Stanford. She was an all-around guard who was an exceptional rebounder for her size, as well as a crafty scorer. Her physicality was a major factor in Stanford's success and also contributed to their 2021 national championship win. Even though the Dream shockingly released Jones, she's found her way onto another WNBA team. Her contributions can complement Phoenix well. After all, Jones and Thomas are a bit similar in their play styles. They are both extremely physical, tenacious defenders, and have a knack for getting into the teeth of the defense. Advertisement Still, the influx of injuries, combined with Jones playing her first game with the team doesn't make matters any easier. Haley Jones is a nice addition to the Mercury with Alyssa Thomas out © Wendell Cruz-Imagn Images As mentioned earlier, Jones has a knack for getting into the teeth of the defense. However, the team is down a good number of players. Now, the Mercury are down three starters, including Kahleah Copper and Natasha Mack. Regardless of that, Satou Sabally has put the team on her back, and other players have risen to the occasion. For instance, rookies Monique Akoa Makani, Kitija Laksa, and Kathryn Westbeld have stepped up big time. Advertisement Adding Jones to the mix can provide the team with some youth, yet nice experience. Even though she brings that experience, learning a new system in less than 24 hours is daunting. No matter what, Phoenix has a chance to secure its fifth win of the season against the Los Angeles Sparks on Sunday. Jones can be an immediate contributor in a short-handed Mercury squad.
