If the girls playing in this year’s Mack Champ Invitational are looking for a role model, they could do a lot worse than Amari Avery.
Since winning the inaugural MCI in 2021, Avery has been racking up accomplishments – All-American at USC, three time competitor at the Augusta National Women’s Amateur, an 8-1-0 record for the United States in the Curtis Cup and Arnold Palmer Cup.
Now she’s earned an invitation to The Chevron Championship, the first major of the LPGA Tour season, which will be played April 20-23 at The Club at Carlton Woods, the site of this week’s Mack Champ Invitational for Girls. It will be Avery’s major championship debut.
Avery, from Riverside, CA, is currently ranked 11th in the women’s World Amateur Golf Ranking. Her sister Alona, a high school junior, won the MCI in 2022 and will be competing again this week.
