However, Q School is significantly tougher than a Challenge Tour weekend: 1) The fields are two to three times larger, so one or two extra games to survive in each tournament, 2) unless you're winning a card outright you've got to keep your form for four days rather than two, and 3) the field includes the additional 30-odd players who've just lost their tour cards, so there are a lot more players who are at least borderline main tour-worthy than in a CT field.

There being worse players than Ashton with a card currently is neither here nor there, anyway. The relevant question is if they were worse than her when they won their tour cards.

Smith-Neale Won the Masters. Lisa is not close to winning that against the men. He's 37th on the Challenge Tour. Draw you own conclusions.
