Jennifer Kupcho, of Wake Forest, won the inaugural edition in 2019. The event was canceled last year due to the coronavirus pandemic.

« The tournament itself is just huge. Access to this unique place is a real chance and then it highlights the image of women in golf. Now on the sporting aspect it's still a competition like any other with a winner and losers. And as much to say that I do not go there to make the figuration. »

“I want to“ enjoy ”the moment, to take as much pleasure as possible while keeping in mind that I am here to be competitive. We will have to find the right balance between contemplation and concentration. "
