NEWTOWN SQUARE, Pa. – Mel Reid said it best: “I feel like I'm an overnight success for the last 15 years.”
Reid, 33, won her first LPGA event last week at the ShopRite LPGA Classic. After years of near-misses and success overseas, she finally became a winner in America and, as she said on Wednesday, “No matter what I do in my career now, I'm an LPGA winner.”
Reid, buoyed with confidence, will next try to become a first-time major winner at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship. She admitted to being a bit tired on the championship’s eve, as she’s spent the last couple of days receiving and responding to congratulations.
