Three years after her LPGA debut as amateur, Jennifer Kupcho in Marathon mix

When Jennifer Kupcho stepped onto the grounds at Highland Meadows Golf Club for the Marathon Classic, memories flooded back to her amateur years.

Kupcho played in the 2018 Marathon LPGA Classic as her reward for winning the NCAA Women’s Championship earlier that year at Karsten Creek.

“I love coming back to this place. This is where I came and played my first LPGA event, so it's always special. I love playing here,” said Kupcho, who finished T-16 in 2018.

On Friday, Kupcho shot a bogey-free 65 that kept her within four shots of leader Nasa Hataoka at this week's edition of the Marathon.
