Jennifer Kupcho enters Augusta National’s history books
-
Forget such magical Augusta National moments as the Tiger Woods miracle putt, Phil Mickelson off the pine straw or Bubba Watson from deep in the trees to win the Masters.
For a generation of young women golfers who never before had an idol to emulate, it's going to be about Jennifer Kupcho's epic eagle in Amen Corner to win Saturday's inaugural Augusta National Women's Amateur.
"That's one of the best shots I've ever hit," Kupcho said of her approach at the par-5 13th to set up the only eagle of the tournament. "I knew I needed to make a big move. I never thought about laying up. That's pretty cool to be the only person who did that."
