The gold medal leaderboards from the PPA Masters powered by Invited through the Veolia Lakeland Open presented by Six Zero certainly tell the tale.

Let those digits sink in for a while. Remarkable stuff, right?

And with her rare blend of humility and grounded focus, you can expect more of the same.

“Every day there is a lot of hard work,” Waters told Miami Times reporter Jesse Scott in a recent interview published Wednesday. “You can’t become too complacent, because everybody’s working their butts off to try to beat you and become the No. 1 player. Even if you’re No. 1, you have to fight for that every day.”


The winningest player in PPA Tour history has been executing that philosophy flawlessly.
 
Stay tuned.

“I obviously want to be remembered as the GOAT,” Waters shared with Scott. “But also, maybe as a pioneer for the sport and a pioneer for helping young kids get into the sport.”
 
Now that’s a young woman who’s wise beyond her years.
