In what is unfolding as “The Year of the Breakthrough” in women’s golf, Maria Torres is making a run at becoming the most stunning of all.
She’s an LPGA rookie.
She’s No. 184 in the Rolex Women’s World Rankings.
She has missed the cut in more than half her starts this year, with 11 MCs overall and seven in a row.
But she enters the weekend at the Evian Championship in the contention to join Pernilla Lindberg and Georgia Hall as players who broke through this season to claim major championships as their first LPGA titles.
