Brooke Pancake plays golf for a living.
It’s her job. She competes almost every week on the LPGA Tour against the best women players in the world. With a top-70 season ranking, Pancake is in that group.
Pancake, who grew up in Chattanooga, will be competing against all of them this week in the U.S Women’s Open at Pinehurst No. 2 — the same course where the best guys in the world played last week.
“It’s truly incredible,” Pancake said before heading to North Carolina. “I’m building off a lot of confidence.”
She will the playing in her third U.S. Open. The former Baylor School golfer — and four-time state champion — made her professional debut in the 2012 U.S. Women’s Open at Black Wolf Run in Koehler, Wis.
