Amy Bockerstette creating more fans at Founders Cup and beyond

PHOENIX – Amy Bockerstette’s fan base continues to grow.

Count the LPGA’s Lizette Salas among those who adore her.

“You just inspire me so much,” Salas told Bockerstette when they met at the Bank of Hope Founders Cup this week.

Amy’s a star now. That’s what so many people who saw her viral video tell her. The world is on a first-name basis with her now, since the Special Olympics golfer won the hearts of so many making par on the Waste Management Phoenix Open’s iconic 16th hole during a practice round earlier this year.
