My mom’s wish finally came true💕
My husband and I are PGA Professionals who got engaged at the Masters 3 years ago (4/7/23). It was the memorable day when the tree fell on the 17th tee. He proposed by the 15th green right after he went rushing down to check that everyone was okay. Due to no cameras during tournament days my mom never got to see the proposal or where it happened. She introduced me to the game she loved and took me to all my tournaments growing up. I owe my career in golf to her.
Fast forward a year… she was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of breast cancer called IBC. She would tell me during treatment, “I hope I get to Augusta National one day”. I want to see where you said yes to the love of your life.” After 437 days of rigorous treatments and surgeries we were finally able to say that there was no evidence of disease!
2 months after her last infusion her wish finally came true, on the 3rd anniversary of our engagement (4/7/26). So happy we got to experience this as a whole family this week. This will forever be my favorite Augusta National memory!
