To stay in shape, she needed to work out more. When competition resumed in September, she suffered back problems. She persevered and was determined not to have any more problems at the end of the year.
Alex has made all but one cut in recent times. She was fourth at February's LPGA Drive On Championship. In California, she was also in form during the West Coast Swing. She placed 35th at Mission Hills Country Club Rancho Mirage's Chevron Championship and was tied for 10th at Wilshire Country Club Los Angeles' DIO Implant L.A. Open.
