Her time spent playing in last year's USGA championships, as well as her win at Drive, Chip & Putt (at Augusta National before the Masters), have provided her with many good opportunities that she will consider as she prepares for the U.S. Women's Open.We are very grateful for the support Lucy has received, both from the golf community and the media. She is looking forward to playing at Pinehurst."
