LAURA DAVIES ON LIFE AS A TOUR PRO AT 47

FROM THE LPGA TOUR WEBSITE
LPGA veteran Laura Davies carded a 2-under-par 70 in the opening round of the LPGA Tour Championship in Florida (scroll down to access the scores).
The always-quotable Davies carded six birdies, two bogies and a double bogey in a rollercoaster day. Two points shy of the 27 points needed to qualify for the LPGA and World Golf Halls of Fame, Davies has the utmost respect for the qualifications necessary to gain entrance. “I've had 23 years out here, and if I'm not good enough to win 22 times, that's my fault, no one else's.”
Davies also considers herself more than equipped to handle the rigours of professional golf at age 47.
“You are as old as you feel and as long as you're confident and you can physically walk around the golf course, you can be a professional golfer. So at this stage, I can still walk.”
