Laura Kueny nearly pulled off her second Symetra Tour Victory of the season by making birdies on four of her last five holes to force a playoff, only to lose to Sue Kim in Decatur, Ill.

The second-place finish vaults Kueny into second place on the Symetra Tour money list whereby the top 10 money earners at the end of the season earn a LPGA golf card.

This week Kueny will travel to nearby South Bend, Ind., for the next event on the Ladies Tour,
