In fact, she’s now in training for a unique hobby that not many in the sports world can boast of. And ahead of this week’s LPGA event, she stunned the fans with her display of these exceptional skills.

Since an injury sidelined her from the game in 2018, the LPGA pro has begun dipping her toes into different hobbies. Flying helicopters turned out to be one of them! “I think helicopters are cool,” she said in May last year, as per an LPGA report. “I was thinking of trying a plane but… The freedom with the helicopter was appealing.” And it seems like fans love seeing her take part in her hobby too.
