Pressel has achieved achievements over her short career. At 12, she became the youngest player to qualify for the U.S. Women's Open. At 17, she successfully appealed the LPGA to let her play professionally even though the rules state that a competitor must be 18. She even managed to play part-time on the tour while still attending high school. None of these achievements measure up to what she did in 2007, when she became the youngest to ever win an LPGA major golf tournament at 18 years, 10 months.
