Emily's Road to the LPGA

Hi everyone!

Thank you for taking the time to read through this message.

As many of you know, I am a few months into my professional golf career. While challenging, I am learning so much about myself, my game, and how tough it is to finance myself on this journey. I am asking you for your support and trust in my abilities.

Recently, I completed my 5th season as a Virginia Tech Hokie where I was named All-American Honorable Mention, 2-time All-ACC, recorded 17 rounds of par-or-better in a single season, competed in the NCAA championship for the second year in a row, notched two hole-in-ones only two months apart, and competed in the Augusta National Women’s Am. These highlights stand alone from my final season as a Hokie, but the growth and development I made throughout my previous four have helped me become the player and person I am today.

Off the golf course, I received my Bachelor of Science degree in Human Development in 2021 and most recently completed my Masters of Agriculture and Life Sciences with a concentration in Applied Nutrition and Physical Activity. I successfully defended by thesis about the effects of exercise on academics while on the road playing in my fourth professional event.

I officially turned professional after the NCAA Championship tournament and began my pro debut in the Epson Carolina Classic, where I made the cut and finished T63. After that event, I made played in 10 more events, and made another 5 cuts with events in Idaho, Oregon, Alabama, Arkansas, and Florida, finishing with the final 2 stages of the LPGA Q-School at the end of the regular seasoned events. During the off-season (November-April), I worked hard on my fitness and my golf game preparing my return to competition play! I will be playing in a mix of WAPT and Epson Tour events, and look forward to the new challenges and lessons that are to come.

If you have made it this far, please know that I appreciate any amount of support. No gift is too small; anything will make a massive difference in helping to offset a lot of my expenses.

Please use this GoFundMe to provide your contribution. If you or your company would like to support/sponsor more than you feel comfortable here, please contact me directly. I would love to discuss your intentions to help me achieve my goals over the phone. We can discuss how I can help give back and better promote your business through my platform (whether through social media or in advertisements on my apparel and equipment).

Thank you!
