On Sunday, she got candid about her pursuits in the sport in a post on X. 'I played junior golf, college golf and a year professionally. After that stretch I mentally couldn’t handle playing golf and especially keeping score,' she wrote. 'I equated my score to my self worth. I know it sounds silly but competitive golf really beat me up emotionally. 'But I’ve found that passion again! I’ve started tracking my scores and grinding on my game.
Played pro for a year out of college,' she wrote on Instagram. 'Was as highly ranked junior golfer. Full ride to a D1 university were I was first and second team all-conference. Had 1 pro win on a mini tour, made the cut in the Scottish Open, and made money in all but two tournaments that year. 'Never made it on the LPGA. People don’t realize how much goes into playing pro golf. It’s a mental, physical and financial grind.
Some of them are really cool and I’ve known for awhile. Some really hate how I present myself and the game on social media,' she wrote. 'Empowered women empower other women so I’m hopeful we can just get the f--- over it one day soon. I hold no ill will against anyone and understand we have a difference of opinion. However we are all doing our part to bring awareness to the game in our OWN way. Bringing one another down only hurts us and the game.
