Going into my junior year, I won the U.S. Amateur, which is the biggest women's amateur tournament in the country. I ended up winning the U.S. Amateur going into my senior year and then again after my senior year, winning it three times in a row. I decided, in order to further my golfing career, I needed to test myself against the best. That is when I decided to turn pro and try to compete on the tour. We don't play for as much as the men and we travel a lot.
People sometimes stigmatize women players as jocks.
But I think there are definitely more advantages than low points. I don't have anybody telling me what to do, and I get to travel around and see the world. Yes, I think women's sports, in general, have. This next millennium is going to be huge for women's sports. Most of the prom queens and the most popular girls are the ones who play sports.
