She started playing at a very young age and became the youngest player to qualify for the US Women’s Open at the age of 12 in 2007. She did not win the competition, but did win the Aldila Junior Classic the same year. The youngest player in the American Junior Golf Association (AJGA) to win the title, in addition to winning the Westfield Junior PGA Championship as the youngest person to ever win the World Cup.
