Biography
Pressel dominated Florida’s Class A state meet for four years, winning state individual titles as a sophomore, junior and senior after finishing second as a freshman. She shot a sparkling 67-67-134 in the state meet last fall and won the title on the second hole of a sudden-death playoff.
Eight days after winning the state crown, Pressel, the U.S. Women’s Open runner-up in 2005, ended her amateur career by joining the LPGA Tour. Ranked No. 1 in the amateur ranks at the time, Pressel finished in the top 25 in each of the seven professional tournaments she played in last year.
Pressel was first in many ways. In 2001 Pressel became the youngest girl to qualify for the US Women’s Open at the age of 12. She turned pro at 17 and is the youngest to win a LPGA tournament in 2007 at 18 years old. She has been on the LPGA circuit since 2006.
In 2019 Pressel finished 4th overall at the British Open.
