Ranked ninth in the Women's World Amateur Golf Ranking, she quit after 2.5 years in March 2018 to turn professional and play on the Symetra Tour, after a bout of food poisoning during the final stage of the LPGA Q-School saw her miss out on earning her LPGA card.[2] She won her first professional tournament in September 2018 and qualified for the LPGA Tour in October 2018 by finishing fifth on the 2018 Symetra Tour money list[3] and won the Symetra Tour Rookie of the Year award.
