(Anne and Carol) are both good friends of mine. Carol drummed me the first time I played in an event. She beat me 6 and 5 at the (Womens) Western. She was a legend and we sat down and had lunch. Ive learned a lot from her and respect her. Its just a real honor.Port is the womens golf coach at Washington University in St. Louis. She also still teaches at the John Burroughs School, a private high school.My team has been texting me and theyve been having way more fun at practice since Ive been gone, Port said.
