Overheard from Jennifer Kupcho on her win at the Meijer last year on Father’s Day:

“It was pretty awesome. I think one of the greatest things about that was I was going to call him before the round because I had a fairly good amount of time before my tee time in the morning, but I just told myself, ‘I'm going to call him with a trophy in my hand at the end of the day.’ To be able to follow through and do that was pretty cool.”
