Professional Recap

AJGA alumna Nelly Korda won the gold medal at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics women’s golf competition played at Kasumigaseki Country Club near Tokyo, Japan. Korda shot rounds of 67-62-69-69 for a tournament total of 17-under-par 267. She defeated Japan's Mone Inami and New Zealand's Lydia Ko by one stroke after sinking a par putt on No. 18.

Korda was a three-time Rolex Junior All-American who won two AJGA in 2015: The PING Invitational and the Yani Tseng Invitational presented by the Swinging Skirts.

AJGA alumna and tournament host Alison Lee earned her first professional victory in the individual competition at the Ladies European Tour's Aramco Team Series Sotogrande in Spain. She won the tournament by five strokes at 15-under-par 201.

Lee had an exceptional junior golf career. She was the 2013 Rolex Junior Player of the Year and a six-time Rolex Junior All-American. She won nine AJGA tournaments in her career and has paid it forward by hosting her own tournament with Under Armour® since 2016. Her first professional win actually came just four days after this year's Under Armour® / Alison Lee Championship concluded.
