Jennifer Kupcho of the United States reacts on the 18th green during the final round of the Augusta National Women’s Amateur at Augusta National Golf Club.
“It’s just amazing. It’s just great to be able to do that,” Kupcho said. “It’s a feeling I can’t describe.”The amateur tournament was the first women’s trophy ever contested at Augusta National, which opened in 1933 but didn’t admit its first female members until 2012. “The ending wasn’t what I would have liked but it was still amazing to compete at Augusta for the first time,” Fassi said. “I’m just really happy. We played amazing golf. It really is a dream come true.”
LPGA legends Pak Se Ri, Annika Sorenstam, Lorena Ochoa and Nancy Lopez hit ceremonial first tee shots to launch the historic round, although it was American Anna Redding who hit the first competitive shot at Augusta National.“It’s a dream come true. I’m so happy for them,” Sorenstam said. “This has huge potential to not just inspire young girls but golfers, other women in sports and women in business.
Businesswoman Darla Moore and former US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice were named the club’s first women members in August 2012.
