“Kate had the role of ensuring that the patrons could see the players’ scores within our group as she was carrying a standard bearer score sign,” recalled Brent, who alongside Kate, plays most of his golf in Evansville at the Cambridge Golf Club. “I was tracking the strokes and other data points, allowing the digital platforms to receive live scoring data, which was displayed on the large scoreboards on property, on the LPGA website, and on Golf Channel. The device I carried also allows the tracking of other important information such as greens in regulation, total putts, and sand saves.” During the third round, they walked with Andrea Lee and Chella Choi and on Sunday, they scored for Hye-Jin Choi, Patty Tavatanakit and Yuka Saso. Traveling to the LPGA’s CME Group Tour Championship to serve as volunteers was something Brent and Kate had been discussing for months. “We have been talking about being part of the CME Championship since this past spring,” said Brent. “I have gained a relationship with Candace Adkison from the LPGA office as she has been so kind in helping our junior golfers in the Evansville area for several years. Candace was able to connect me with Taylor Low (of the CME Group Tour Championship staff) and we were able to work it out.”
