The Arizona State fifth-year senior will make her second U.S. Women’s Open start by virtue of being No. 16 in the Women’s World Amateur Golf Ranking®. Mehaffey has competed in three Women’s British Opens. Mehaffey helped the 2016 Great Britain & Ireland Curtis Cup win at Dun Laoghaire Golf Club outside of Dublin. She also garnered 2.5 of the 3 points GB&I won in a 17-3 defeat to the USA in the 2018 Match. Mehaffey took advantage of the NCAA granting an additional year of eligibility for spring-sport athletes due to COVID-19 cutting short the 2019-20 season. She is the only four-time All-American in Sun Devil history, joining Azahara Munoz and Kellee Booth. As a freshman in 2017, she helped ASU win the NCAA title by notching match-play victories in all three wins over Florida, Stanford and Northwestern (title match).
