No black player has ever won on the LPGA.

Amari Avery comes to this week's Mizuho Americas Open, where she's playing on a sponsor invitation, fresh off her first victory on the Epson Tour.

Asked Avery what goes through her mind when someone notes that it has never been done before:

"It's honestly just shocking to think about. But at the same time, I think that's a lot to put on someone's shoulders for sure. I've been hearing it my entire life. I know a bunch of Black golfers, men and women, especially women, and they've all felt the extra weight on their shoulders.

"I think maybe that could be contributing to why we haven't seen a black golfer win on Tour before. So I think with my win last week and just with everything that's been going on in black golf, women's golf, we're on the right path. Hope to see one soon. Hopefully it's me, but of course I'm always rooting for my counterparts as well."

Will either 36-hole co-leader walk away with their first Epson Tour win?

An unfortunate situation led to Amari Avery having to play her second round at the U.S. Women's Open with Gabriela Ruffels' set of clubs.
