Stephanie Meadow finished second at a 36-hole qualifying event at Superstition Mountain Golf and Country Club to book her place at next month's US Open.
There were six places on offer in Arizona, with Meadow carding rounds of 68 and 66 for an overall score of 10-under alongside American Mina Harigae and two shots off Sarah Schmelzel, also of the USA.
Swede Amanda Linner, Thailand's Pornanong Phatlum and Italian Giulia Molinaro are the others players who can now look forward to the major which takes place from 3-6 June at the Olympic Club in San Francisco.

The competition to make it to the prestigious event has been ferocious, with 24 sectional qualifying sites in the US and an additional site in Japan.
In 2014, Meadow finished third at the US Open after a sensational performance. The Jordanstown golfer had only turned professional just before the start of the tournament having played collegiate golf in the US for Alabama.
Cavan's Leona Maguire saw her bid to make the major fall short a fortnight ago when she finished in a tie for 10th at the Morongo Golf Club qualifier in California.
