The 28-year-old American has one LPGA Tour title.
Q Best golf shot ever seen?
A Lexi Thompson at the Solheim Cup last year. She holed out (from 112 yards) for an eagle on Hole 11 on a par-five against Anna Nordqvist (in the singles match that was halved) and I thought it was just epic (the US eventually beat Europe to retain the Cup).
Q No. 1 golf tip for amateurs?
A Keep your head down. I feel like amateurs are so anxious to hit the ball and see where it ends up. But if they just relax a little and keep their head down, it makes contact much more consistent.
Q Thoughts on LPGA's dress code?
A I understand why they did it. It keeps the game a little more classy. We do have the privilege of expressing our own style out here but I feel there's got to be a limit. It's a professional sport after all and we should dress appropriately.
Q Biggest golf fashion disaster?
A Skorts (shorts with a fabric panel resembling a skirt covering the front) with no pockets. When designers do golf skorts with no pockets, it's a disaster. We need at least two pockets for our balls, tees and whatnot.
Q Dream partners in a four-ball?
A Brooks Koepka, Phil Mickelson and Henrik Stenson - they call him the Iceman. I just love their golf swings and Phil because he has such a great game. Hopefully I can learn something from them. Natalie Choy
