Golf's latest Cinderella story may be upon us.
Meaghan Francella hasn't made an LPGA start since 2013. Fast forward nearly a decade, and she’s now an LPGA teaching professional in Philadelphia, most recently winning the 2021 LPGA Professionals National Championship and earning a spot in the ‘22 KPMG Women’s PGA Championship, which takes place in two weeks. To prepare, she's making her first LPGA start in nine years this week at the ShopRite LPGA Classic.
Last night, Francella was anxious and had trouble sleeping. She calmed down during her range session Friday morning, however, once she headed to the first tee box, the nerves returned.
