Cactus Queen’s Thorny Path

While ascending to social network stardom, Paige didn’t put her clubs away. The Cactus Tour was her next challenge, a circuit designed for women golfers in the Western US. With talent to spare, she found herself finishing in the top 20 quite often, showcasing skill and determination.

The crowning moment was a sudden-death victory over amateur sensation Hannah O’Sullivan. Alas, the LPGA qualifying tournament of 2016 was a bridge too far. Paige missed earning her card, temporarily derailing her professional dreams. Still, as we know, no rough patch could keep this talented golfer from aiming for the next big goal.
