Stanford's Rachel Heck earned a special exemption to play at the Marathon Classic after winning the NCAA individual title in May. But with the responsibilities that come with playing on the LPGA, typical college demands persist.
Playing in her third LPGA event, the first goal was to ensure everything arrived to the tournament intact, which called for a lengthy car ride with Heck's father from their home in Memphis, Tennessee to Toledo, Ohio.
"Yeah, [the drive] was about 10 and a half, 11 hours, and I was not too happy that we drove," Heck, said on Tuesday.
