Hello peeps, it is getting a little steamy in Tokyo! I am already anticipating a very hot summer this year. For those of you that haven't seen it on my social media, I won my first professional event last month! It was an one day event at Nanso Country Club, and I shot 67, winning by one! Super exciting :) Love it when hard work pays off. I definitely feel like my longgame has made some positive progress, and I really believe that GIR's correspond most directly to consistent and lower scores. Yes, shortgame is important, but you don't want to be scrambling on every single hole because that just wears you out. Also, I just want to bring this up to those of you who are looking into golfing professionally in Japan, but don't have status. For example, I didn't do well in the Pro-Test last year which would have given me a status on the Step-Up Tour (equivalent to Symetra) nor did I do well in Q-school, so I had to find a place to compete. There are many one day event...

First and foremost, happy new year!! Hope 2019 is filled with joy and success for all of you guys! As of me, I am back in Florida getting ready to compete in two Eggland events, and am definitely enjoying the warmer weather than what I’ve been experiencing in Japan. (But apparently the winter in Japan wasn’t as bad this year compared to the usual.) I am writing this blogpost to announce LaceLocker®️ as my first sponsorship as I pursue my LPGA dream! I am very grateful for the opportunity they have given me, and love having them on my team. I met their executive director, Carol ‘Stash’ Stanley when I was still at UVA, and I just really can’t thank her enough for her generosity and more than anything, her belief in my game.  I  definitely had times when I questioned myself as I decided to turn professional and continue playing, but I decided to put all worries aside and just believe in the process and myself, because so many people, like Stash, encouraged me and beli...
