Lindsey Weaver-Wright finished her 2023 LPGA season on a high note, celebrating her pregnancy with a spectacular hole-out on her home course in Texas.
Weaver-Wright's performance on the golf course at seven months pregnant was nothing short of remarkable. She executed a beautiful eagle that left fans in awe to secure tge victory.
However, Lindsey Weaver-Wright's path to this wonderful event was not without difficulty. Throughout her pregnancy, she suffered from terrible back discomfort, which was so severe that she had to bring a folding chair with her to recent LPGA Tour events to relax between shots.
“Honestly, it was unbelievable,” she said. “Just so surreal to end my season like that and start maternity leave.”
Despite these physical challenges, the veteran tour pro was resolved to compete in this week's Ascendant LPGA in Texas, a decision based on sentiment. She has been a member of The Old American Golf Club for five years, and it seemed right that she would make her final appearance before leaving on maternity leave at this competition.
