Lizette Salas has come a long way in golf, from her first day going with her dad to the local course in Azusa here in Southern California (where he worked as a mechanic) to being a two-time winner on the LPGA Tour and a five-time member of the US Solheim Cup team. We talk about how she got started in the game, her junior career, earning a golf scholarship to USC, winning the NCAA team championship as a freshman and becoming a four-time All-American, surviving a 9-for-1 playoff to earn her LPGA Tour card, what life on Tour is like, coping with her recent medical challenges, and her thoughts on the women’s game today.
