Emma Talley flew to Singapore over the weekend to resume the LPGA season, but her heart is never far from Princeton, Kentucky. It’s a friendly, hope-filled community with four stoplights and a big sign that says “Home of Emma Talley” on the way into town. When Talley, 27, earned her card for the 2018 season, a 5-foot-wide photo of her went up in the local Wal-mart.
Talley was on the other side of the world in New Zealand when a devastating tornado ripped through her beloved Princeton on December 10, 2021, with winds up to 190 mph, causing widespread destruction.
