Alexa Pano had one final goal to reach before turning professional: Play a competitive round at Augusta National.
To do that, she had to qualify for the final round of the recent Augusta National Women’s Amateur, doubling the pressure on the 17-year-old.
“It was definitely a massive deal to get it done this year,” Pano said Tuesday. “Everything revolved around that being my last event. I was so happy I could get it done this year. It was everything I dreamed of.”
