Quoting Coach Ewing
On Julia's Invitation
"This is without a doubt the greatest invitation to receive on the amateur side of women's golf. We are super proud of her. This is not an invitation that you receive over a couple of days or weeks of golf, but it is something that is earned with consistency over a long period of time. That is something that Julia [Lopez Ramirez] has done and that is how she was able to receive this invitation."
"We are nothing but proud of her. We are extremely grateful that she is a part of our family. We know that she will represent herself and this university very well at the Augusta National Women's Amateur. Julia will go very competitively and will have an opportunity to have a fantastic week. More than anything, we know that she will treat the week with respect and take in this massive opportunity. We hope she has a fantastic week and are so proud she is getting to play in one of the greatest events in all of golf."
