Hamilton’s Alena Sharp says she finished the LPGA Tour season despite having a torn meniscus in her left knee.<\/p>\n

Sharp posted a photo to Instagram of her smiling in a hospital bed.<\/p>\n

The 44-year-old says she injured her knee “at some point in July.”<\/p>\n

Despite that, she still played in five LPGA Tour events from August onward, including the CPKC Women’s Open, Canada’s national golf championship.<\/p>\n

Sharp also played in one Epson Tour event in August.<\/p>\n

The three-time Olympian says the injury was no excuse for her disappointing results this season and that she expects she’ll be playing again in 2026.<\/p>\n
