Michelle said in the show – “When I was there the week before, I played a practice round. Yeah, she was young, so I just went up to her and I was like, ‘How old are you?’ and she’s like, ‘I’m 14.’ I’m like, ‘Oh, wow, are you the youngest in the field?’ and she’s like, ‘No.’… and then a couple of holes went by and I was like, ‘Hey, you know what? I can be your mom.’ And I was like, ‘Wait a second, people have definitely said this to me on tour before.’ It was a moment that came full circle.”

It would be a surreal moment for any player who would reach a stage in their career where they could mentor the younger generation. This left West nostalgic after her performance at the event.
