Women’s Golf Is Taking Off

Wakeup! Women’s golf continues to gain popularity, and more young girls are taking up the sport than ever before. Here we discuss why we love the sport and who our favorite girl golfer is at this time.

Stephanie Meadows is a women golfer who played at the University of Alabama originally from Northern Ireland. She placed third in the U.S. women’s open in 2014.

She is now sitting in the 112 spot of the 2019 LPGA Tour money list. She only has one event left to improve her place for the 2020 listing. Her life is full of having to overcome the past and her consistent perseverance shown in the Volunteers of America Classis when she shot a 63 to take the 18-hole lead. She is coming off if the 2012 NCAA national championship title and the 2014 U.S. Women’s open. She continues to show her career-low score of 63 to this day. She also wins the 2015 Heather Farr Perseverance award because she handled what life threw her way when her father passed away.

She was then tested again in 2017 when she found out she had a stress fracture in her lower back. She was misdiagnosed for ten weeks, and after this was diagnosed, she underwent surgery followed by months of rehab. After this surgery, she could not retain her card in the 2018 season, and she went to the Symetra Tour. She earned 6th place and retrieved her card again.

She continued to be tested in life, yet she continued to persevere and push through. She missed the cut in the 2019 debut at the ISPS Handa Vic Open. This was because of her falling down the stairs, twisting her ankle, and playing in a great amount of pain in Australia. She continued to miss cuts, as many as six throughout June and July. This caused her to reevaluate her game and lower her self confidence, but she kept pushing.

Since Meadow continued to persevere, she moved back up to 11th place in July at the Marathon Classic and an invitational. She also traveled back to her home country and played for money with women and men in the ISPS invitational.

Recently, Meadow got five birdies from the second hole to the sixth and bogey-free round. This resulted in her now sitting at the top of the leaderboard for the first time in her entire career. She never stopped battling and never backed down. She is not only back and playing, but she is winning championships. This allowed her to realize what she can accomplish when she doesn’t back down. This girl has battled through a lot and rocked a sexy sleeveless golf shirt the whole time!

The whole world has seen what Meadow has accomplished, and they have also seen what has been thrown at her but not stopped her. She is the top 2020 person to watch in women’s golf. She has given a great example of what it’s like to keep on fighting in anything you do. Especially something you love doing. She is not only back and playing, but she is winning titles and making a great name for herself.
