First Tee – Silicon Valley Ace participant and volunteer coach, Franky Sumcad, placed third at the 2022 PURE Insurance Championship. She and her senior professional golfer, Rod Pampling, shot 19 under par for the three rounds at the world-famous Pebble Beach and Spyglass Golf Links.
Franky was one of 81 top First Tee golfers from around the country selected to participate in this official PGA TOUR Champions event. The PURE Insurance Championship paired one First Tee junior with a PGA TOUR Champions player and two amateurs.
“PURE was an amazing experience,” said Franky. “Especially since I am generally a more reserved person, I was surprised by how much it showed that I genuinely loved playing golf and playing on such a big stage. I surprised myself and learned a lot of new things in part to everyone there. My excitement from the week spilled over into the car ride home and I talked my parents’ ears off the entire way. “
Congratulations Franky!
