Jane Park in the Hunt for the ADT Championship

Now that the cut has been made at the LPGA Championship, let's check in on the players on the bubble for qualifying for the ADT Championship--winner-takes-$1M end-of-season 32-player shootout--for the first half of the season. If Lorena Ochoa, Annika Sorenstam, or Seon Hwa Lee wins, everyone up to and including #12 is in; if not, it's the winner plus the top 11. I'm excluding from the following list everyone already over $400K in season earnings--there's no way they're not in. So what about everyone else?
8 Karen Stupples 373466 (T31)
9 Inbee Park 361219 (T52)
10 Christina Kim 356421 (CUT) [in trouble]
11 Jee Young Lee 353766 (T11)
12 Sophie Gustafson 348466 (CUT) [in huge trouble]
13 Angela Stanford 334491 (T52)
14 Jane Park 333672 (T27)
15 Leta Lindley 332814 (T62)
16 Teresa Lu 330769 (CUT) [OUT]
17 Brittany Lang 328595 (T4)
18 Sun Young Yoo 317568 (T62)
Looks like it's Brittany Lang and Jane Park with the best chance to knock out Sophie Gustafson and Christina Kim. But with the first 4 or so spots bringing you 6 digits, Lindsey Wright (269859) at 2nd, Laura Diaz (285843) and Maria Hjorth (242266) at T11, Hee-Won Han (260285) at T18, Cristie Kerr (219518) at T27, and Candie Kung (253302) at T31, among several others, have legitimate shots to end the first half of the season near the $400K mark in winnings. So the situation is still quite volatile. Go, Jane!

a little early ?
we assume you mean “the cut at the McDonalds LPGA” – but the ADT isn’t until almost Thanksgiving. There’s a lot of golf to play – and I’m still looking for a rush of Koreans to rack up some wins this season and really shuffle the deck in the top 50 or so.

Thanks, cg. Was assuming people were familiar with the format and qualifying rules:
http://www.lpga.com/adtchampionship.aspx
In a nutshell, there are 4 ways to qualify for the ADT Championship: win one of the tour’s winner’s events (those with purses of $2M or more); be high enough on the money list in the first half of the season or for the second half of the season (not counting those already in via the first way) to snag the remaining spots of the 15 available each half-season; or be the 2 highest players on the money list (as of, I assume, the Ochoa Invitational?) who haven’t qualified in any of the three previous ways.
The first half of the season ends with the LPGA Championship.
