Jennifer Kupcho and Maria Fassi will get their wish.
The darlings of amateur/college golf, who captured the fancy of fans with their friendly duel at the inaugural Augusta National Women’s Amateur in April, will play as partners in next month’s Dow Great Lakes Bay Invitational, the LPGA’s new team event. They both turned pro before teeing it up at the U.S. Women’s Open last week.
The Dow Great Lakes Bay Invitational announced Friday that Kupcho and Fassi will play on a sponsor’s exemption. The event is scheduled July 17-20 at Midland Country Club in Michigan.
“I’m really looking forward to playing with Maria,” said Kupcho, a Wake Forest graduate.
