Asterisk Talley will have more energy this week at El Caballero Country Club than the last time she teed it up there.
Last summer, Talley made the final of the U.S. Golf Association's U.S. Girls' Junior, falling to Rianne Malixi in the 36-hole final. In addition to two rounds of stroke play, Talley played seven rounds of match play, and on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, there were two matches per day, with the championship taking place on Saturday.
In total, the now-16-year-old Talley played 154 holes of golf that week, significantly less than she will at this week's LPGA JM Eagle LA Championship.
