Many years in the making, Lucy Li holds first LPGA lead at Dana Open

A moment nearly eight years in the making is finally here — Lucy Li is leading an LPGA event.

The 19-year-old Californian was a child phenom. She famously played the U.S. Women's Open at 11 years old — a record that still stands today. After winning twice this year on the Epson Tour, Li secured a full LPGA card for next season.

However, before next season, Li is trying to get as many LPGA starts under her belt as possible. She played last week's CP Women's Open and recorded her first LPGA top-10 to earn a spot in this week's Dana Open.
