SOUTHERN PINES, N.C. — Allison Emrey played Pine Needles “a million times growing up,” she said earlier this week, including once during a junior golf tournament she remembers as much for the weather as anything that happened on the course.
“I have never played in more rain in my life,” said Emrey, a Charlotte native and former Wake Forest standout. “It’s sand, so everything soaks in. So the entire day it rained, but we had a blast.”
This week, it turned out for Emrey, proved to be about $20,000 more of a blast.
