LPGA pro Cheyenne Knight has looked back on her first win on the LPGA Tour in her rookie year in 2019.
Knight turned professional in 2018 and earned the Tour card the following year. She has won two titles in her career; Volunteers of America Classic in 2019 and Dow Great Lakes Bay Invitational in 2023. She won the Dow Championship, a team event, alongside Elizabeth Szokol.
Knight sealed her first LPGA Tour victory with a 18-under par score by defeating Brittany Altomare and Jaye Marie Green by two strokes. In a recent interview with the LPGA, the 28-year-old walked down memory lane as she shared about the moments of her 2019 win in her native Texas ahead of the third Major in the state.
