11-year-old golf reporter enjoys day at U.S. Women's Open

An 11-year-old from California spent Tuesday as the Sentry First Tee Junior Reporter at the U.S. Women's Open at Riviera in Pacific Palisades.

Jamie met the journalist in the media center and walked a hole on the 10th with Bianca Pagdanganan during her practice round. She also interviewed Megan Khang on the range. Later, Jamie attended Lydia Ko's press conference. She asked how Ko stays motivated during difficult stretches. Ko replied that golf is never over until the final putt drops and described it as a roller coaster with room to recover after downs. After the session, Ko signed Jamie's hat and posed for photos.
