She balances coverage of icons with sharp observations on emerging talent, keeping her finger firmly on the pulse of golf’s future. When she isn’t dissecting tournament trends, she’s digging into player backstories, convinced that the heart of golf lies not only in the numbers on the scorecard but also in the resilience behind each shot.
