Jennifer Kupcho experienced just about every emotion one could experience on the 18th green at Blythefield Country Club on Sunday, home to the Meijer LPGA Classic for Simply Give.

When Minjee Lee first announced her presence at a USGA championship a decade ago by winning the U.S. Girls’ Junior Championship, she was asked by Golf Channel reporter Steve Burkowski if more USGA titles were in the offing.

Fifteen years ago, as a 17-year-old amateur, Mina Harigae made her debut in the U.S. Women’s Open Presented by ProMedica at Pine Needles Lodge and Golf Club.

Getting your first win on the LPGA Tour is hard. But if you ask 31-year-old Marina Alex, the second one is even more so. Alex began the final round of the Palos Verdes Championship presented by Bank of America three shots back of 54-hole leader Hannah Green and dug deep on the final day, posting a five-under 66 to beat Rolex Rankings No. 1 Jin Young Ko by a single stroke at ten-under overall.
