“It’s early December, six months removed from her breakthrough win at the 2025 U.S. Women’s Open, and Maja Stark is finally starting to feel her competitive fire again.

She is a future promoter’s dream – a powerful, elegant, well-spoken tyro who is clearly capable of tearing a course apart.
From a golf purist’s point of view, that’s gold.”

“The PGA Tour has recently gotten into the habit of pairing up amateur golfers -- often teenagers -- with stars to play an entire hole together during a pro-am or a practice round before an event.
The pairing of Gary Woodland and Amy Bockerstette from Special Olympics Arizona (with a Matt Kuchar cameo) this week at the 2019 Waste Management Phoenix Open is probably the best one yet. Amy and Gary met up on the famous par-3 16th at TPC Scottsdale, with Woodland inviting Amy to play the hole with him. After Amy meets Woodland, Kuchar and Kuchar's caddie John Wood, the group walks up to the pro-am tee.”

Local superstar Mia Hammond joins current Epson Tour member, Sarah White, as the eighth amateur to win on the Official Qualifying Tour of the LPGA. White took home the trophy at the 2020 Founders Tribute at Longbow Golf Club after getting into the tournament the same way as Hammond, via a sponsor exemption.
