Sarah Schmelzel posted her best finish in a major when she finished tied-9th at the Women’s PGA Championship in June 2024, alongside
Linn Grant and
Lexi Thompson.
It was a fantastic breakthrough weekend for the American, who was tied for the lead with eventual winner
Amy Yang after 36 holes.
Schmelzel’s best return on the LPGA Tour came in March 2024 when she finished runner-up at Blue Bay LPGA.
The former University of South Carolina student turned professional eight years ago and had seven top-10 finishes on the Epson Tour in 2018, and then was third at the LPGA Qualifying School.
