Golf star’s career almost ended by a sneeze before she battled back to claim maiden title

LPGA Tour star Jodi Ewart Shadoff almost ended her career because of a sneeze, before securing her maiden title on the circuit last month. Ewart Shadoff finally got her hands on an LPGA Tour crown after seeing off the likes of Yuka Saso, Danielle Kang and fellow English star Georgia Hall to claim the Medihal Championship in October.

Her win in California capped off a quite remarkable career turnaround, having suffered with back and herniated disc problems. The English star has been an ever-present on the LPGA, but her battles with her fitness have often prevented her from getting into the winners' circle.

The wait for a win comes no more though following her one shot victory at The Saticoy Club, and since then Ewart Shadoff has revealed the struggles she went through to get to this stage.
