12-year-old Lucy Li is USGA bound again, this time as a teammate of Kathleen Scavo, a 17-year-old University of Oregon-bound senior from Napa
Li, you might recall, beat Scavo by seven strokes at Half Moon Bay to become the youngest to ever qualify for the 2014 U.S. Women’s Open. This time around, however, they will form a formidable team May 9-13 at Pacific Dunes in Bandon, Ore. Li, now 12, is wise beyond her years but only in the seventh grade.

Li and Scavo won’t be the youngest team playing along the Pacific. A couple 13-year-old friends – Hannah Zeman and Briana Chacon – already advanced through a sectional at Mission Hills in Rancho Mirage, Calif.
