Vancouver’s Michelle Liu was excited about striping her opening tee shot Thursday at the CP Women’s Open, but the 12-year-old left her history-making LPGA debut frustrated.
“Definitely wasn't my best performance, I would say,” Liu said after opening with a 9-over-par 81. “My chipping wasn't where it needed to be.”
Liu became the youngest player to tee it up in the 47-year history of Canada’s national women’s open, but she shed some tears of frustration in the end.
“Pretty disappointed about my score,” Liu said.
A reporter reminded her that she’s only 12 and it was her first LPGA event.
