Big weeks for several Top-500 women. The biggest jump among them was from Bellis, whose second consecutive South Carolina $25K win last week makes her the 26th-ranked American, despite having only 7 tournaments to her name. Her schedule over the next 6 months will be fascinating to watch, as she edges closer to direct entry into qualifying draws for majors.
Min would desperately love a Top 100 breakthrough this year but she may have to earn it - she's 24 points behind #100, whereas the #108 player is only 8 points behind her. Whoriskey's quarterfinal in Saguenay was a huge boost for the ex-Vol, who has nearly nothing to defend until May. Stewart recorded a first-round win over Mayo Hibi in Macon.
Outside the Top 500, Halbauer made her move with a surprising run to the quarters in Macon, while Gilchrist qualified for the $50K in Saguenay.
Finally, apologies to Caroline Dolehide, who I should have included last week on the New Career High list. This week she stayed at #1089 so I'm including her, rather than going back to edit last week's chart. Congrats, Caroline!

Only 20 this week - and only 3 in the Top 500. At the top is #jacksock, who benefited from others dropping below him. Regardless of what happens the rest of the fall, he will be on nearly everyone's "players to watch in 2015" lists.
But the big story is Michael Mmoh, whose run to the Mansfield semis a week ago brought him 8 big points, and on the verge of the Top 1000. Of course, that was only a teaser for this past week, when he won the Brownsville $15K event, saving match points in the process. We will be looking at another Top 700 player in seven days' time. Can you feel the excitement?!?
