She's given most of her life to the game of golf and unlike her male counterparts she has to step away to start a family, there's life outside of golf!! She's had a career to be proud of and there are many fans that will miss her out on the tour!

She’s having problems with her mental health, female problems, depression, and other physical problems. Her putting and short game needs to be worked on. But she’s pretty, caring, loves fans, charity’s smart. A good lady .❤
