12-year-old girl Dakoda (Koda) Dowd to play on LPGA
Dakoda (Koda) Dowd, a 12-year-old Florida girl, received an exemption to play in an LPGA Tour event next month and will fulfill the wish of her mother, who has cancer.
Dakoda Dowd will play in the inaugural Ginn Clubs & Resorts Open in Orlando on April 24-30, organizers of the tournament said in a news release.
Her mother, Kelly Jo Dowd, is having chemotherapy for breast cancer that has spread to her bones and liver. One of the mother's wishes is to watch Dakoda play in an LPGA event, organizers said.
"My mom has always dreamed of seeing me play with the really great golfers like Annika Sorenstam and Cristie Kerr," Dowd said in the release. "With this opportunity, she may finally have a chance to see this dream come true."
Dowd lives in the Tampa suburb of Palm Harbor and has won 185 junior events.
