Amy, 25, famously played the famous 16th hole at TPC Scottsdale with Gary Woodland during a practice round at the Waste Management Phoenix Open in 2019. She hit the par 3 tee at 117 yards on the green bunker, sandblasting it to within eight feet of the pin, and made her hit par, confidently saying, “You got this!” in front of a rowdy crowd. The video capturing that moment has over 60 million views on social media and is the most viewed video in PGA TOUR history.
In 2019, Amy and her family launched the I GOT THIS Foundation, whose sole mission is to promote inclusion through golf education and playing opportunities for people with Down syndrome and other intellectual disabilities.
The Cairns Cup is a unique event between the USA and Europe that will be held for the first time on US soil in 2024 and will be held at Cherry Creek Golf Club in Michigan, which is located just 20 minutes from Detroit.
Speaking about being captain of Team USA at the 2024 Cairns Cup, Amy said, “I am so excited to be representing Team USA at the Cairns Cup! Inclusion means belonging to the community. What better way to join the golf community than to play alongside With other golfers, while representing my country. It’s a dream come true!”
