As it turned out, 2003 was a big year for women making PGA Tour appearances. Whaley, who in 2018 would become the first female President of the PGA of America, teed it up at the 2003 Greater Hartford Open just a few weeks after Sorenstam’s experience. She fired rounds of 75-78 and missed the cut. Whaley had earned her spot in the tournament by winning the Connecticut Section PGA Championship the previous year.
