Video: Historic Moment in Golf
If you remember, Amy Bockerstette was able to team up with Gary Woodland at the 2019 Waste Management Phoenix Open. Now she is in the headlines again…

Amy teed off Monday at the National Junior College Athletic Association national championship at Plantation Bay Golf & Country Club in Ormond Beach, Fla., representing Phoenix’s Paradise Valley Community College.
