“I learned that I can play with the pros,” stated Pancake. “My game is good enough. I just have to keep working to get it more consistent to compete on that high level.” According to Pancake, Grewal was the perfect partner for the team event. “Savannah and I have very similar games and hit the ball about the same distance so we both are able to adjust quickly if someone mis-hits a shot,” added Pancake. Annabelle’s parents enjoy watching her play, but always want her to remember to relish the moment of playing tournament golf. “We encourage Annabelle to work hard in preparation, but to just play and enjoy the opportunity to compete when she gets to an event,” said Tony. “She plays her best golf when she’s having fun and not thinking about results.” “We also encourage her to play her game and try and beat the golf course,” said Libby. “If she can beat the course by shooting under par, then the results will take care of themselves.” Annabelle’s next two events are The French Lick Charity Classic, an LPGA Epson Tour event, at The Pete Dye Course in French Lick and the 123rd U.S. Women’s Amateur at the Bel-Air Country Club in Los Angeles with her father on her bag for both events. After that, it’s back to college for Annabelle and Savannah as they finish their senior years at Clemson. Postscript. As a high school golfer for Zionsville HS, Pancake finished in the top four of the IHSAA’s state girl’s golf finals on three occasions: fourth in 2017, fourth in 2018, and third in 2019.
