The two college superstars who wowed the golf world when coming down the stretch at the inaugural Augusta National Women’s Amateur will make their professional debuts at the U.S. Women’s Open this summer after winning their qualifiers on Monday.
Both Jennifer Kupcho, ANWA champion and reigning NCAA champion, and Maria Fassi deferred their LPGA status after earning their tour cards through qualifying school in order to finish out their college golf careers.
Kupcho qualified for the U.S. Women’s Open at Starmount Forest Country Club in Greensboro, North Carolina after shooting 72-69 to take medalist honors at 3-under.
