Its crazy how quick a year goes by... A year ago today, I was going thru living hell, literally, at the US Women’s Open outside New York. I had eye infection in both eyes, my throat was so swollen/painful that I couldnt swallow without feeling like there were knives in my throat. I had a cough from hell, no energy and I was sitting up sleeping.

It was sunday morning before my final round the doctor gave me my test results, I had mono. It explained why I was feeling the way I was, and to even tee it up that week shouldnt have been an option. But part of me didnt want to give up and let something kick me down. A year earlier I had lost the same tournament in a play off, so this was my revenge. Wasnt quite in the shape to make it a good one. But I wasn’t going to let this tournament beat me, I wasnt going to give up and I definitely wasnt going to quit. THAT was not an option. So I didnt. I went on to shoot 1 under in the final round and finish 30th, still today I do not know how I managed to get thru 72 holes feeling the way I did. It will always remind me who I am. Ever since, its been a year of struggles, up&downs and a roller coaster healthwise. Ive learnt a lot along the way. I had to fight so hard to get back at it and to even make it thru a day, yet playing 18 holes- it made me crashed mentally in the fall bc physically I was so drained it made me mentally tired too. Having a great Solheim Cup and winning a Major during all this seemed pretty surreal. I was feeling good in the off season, but as soon as the intensity kicked in when season started, it kicked my ass. I was really struggling in the spring, being mentally/physically exhausted. I had to slow down again & accept another set back. I am finally starting to feel like myself again, a year later, and what a great feeling that is!
Its safe to say this has been a journey, a frustrating one at times. Part of me dont wish it being undone either. Im not taking my health for granted and I realize its not healthy to push myself as hard as I have for years. Looking back at this past year leaves me feeling very grateful for all that happened and for everyone that has been there for me. I will NEVER give up?
