She will move into a role with the Oregon Golf Association.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy body is getting old, ready to be done, is the main reason,\u201d Inglis said, \u201cand then once I kind of started considering it, I got offered a job. \u2026 I\u2019m excited. I get to help out a little bit with the junior golfers and then do a little bit of like work with fundraising and stuff like that, so I think it\u2019ll be a good transition. Still in golf but being able to give back and entering kind of the corporate world, which is a little bit terrifying, but we\u2019ll see.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Inglis starred as a high-schooler in Eugene, winning three individual state championships, then went on to win a Pac-12 individual title at the University of Oregon, the first Duck to ever do so. She turned pro in 2016 and immediately got through Q-School, but back injuries have limited her during her LPGA career. After finishing a career-best 79th in points in 2018, she had back surgery and missed the entire 2019 season.<\/p>\n<p>Her back started to act up again back in July, which got Inglis thinking about next steps.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think this is a door I need to step through,\u201d Inglis said. \u201cLike I think it\u2019s time. It felt right. I definitely feel at peace with it and good about it now.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Caroline Inglis played the first two days at The Annika with good friend Elizabeth Szokol, who retired after&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":291750,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[566],"tags":[64,63,755,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-291749","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-golf","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-golf","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/291749","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=291749"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/291749\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/291750"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=291749"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=291749"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=291749"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
