Marina Alex is second
Marina Alex has had a fantastic season, but that is not the only reason she's been successful. Alex was sidelined for seven consecutive months due to a serious back injury. Alex's schedule changed after the COVID-19 epidemic struck the United States. To keep her body in good shape, she had to increase her workouts. Her back issues returned when competition resumed in September. She persevered and was determined not to have any more problems at the end of the year.
Alex has made every cut in the past. She finished fourth at the LPGA Drive On Championship, February. Alex was also on form for the West Coast Swing, California. She was 35th at Mission Hills Country Club, Rancho Mirage's Chevron Championship. She then finished 10th at Wilshire Country Club's DIO Implant L.A. Open.
