Amelie and Alexandra Phung have had to wait almost a year to compete in the Drive, Chip and Putt National Championship. They earned their spot in the 80-player field, competing at the TPC River Highlands in 2019.
With the announcement from the Augusta National Golf Club on Tuesday morning, it seems their wait is finally coming to a close.
“It’s really exciting to me since it’s coming up and it’s a long time to wait a year, so I’ve been just having many talks with my sister,” said Alexandra, who’s playing in her second consecutive Drive, Chip and Putt finals.
Amelie and Alexandra, though they’ve been anticipating getting to Augusta, haven’t had a lot of free time in the past year. Along with school, the Phung sisters have been spending their time with the #WeAreTheWorldChallenge they started last April.
