WEST CALDWELL, N.J. – Is Maria Fassi back?
When Fassi had her breakout moment on the national golf stage at the Augusta National Women’s Amateur, the potential for what she might achieve as a professional seemed limitless. But upon joining the LPGA in 2019, on the heels of her megawatt performance at Augusta National, Fassi struggled. She recorded just a single top-10 finish in her first two seasons on the LPGA and missed the cut in 10 of her first 11 events of 2021 while also missing seven weeks during that span because of left-knee surgery.
But on Saturday morning, Fassi made a call to her mother.
