NAPLES, Fla. – Suzann Pettersen wasn’t done winning this year when she dropped that final putt to lead the Europeans over the Americans at the Solheim Cup in September and retired moments after.
She made a special appearance at the Rolex LPGA Awards dinner Thursday at the CME Group Tour Championship to accept the Heather Farr Perseverance Award.
The award recognizes determination pursuing the love of the game and honors the memory of Farr, the former tour player who died of breast cancer at 28 in 1993.
Pettersen missed nearly two years on tour after taking time away around the birth of her first child, Herman, whose arrival came after some complications in her pregnancy.
