Bio Update: Ashley has attributed her newfound motivation, and ability to control her nerves better, to her participation in The Big Break VI: Trump National. After the 2006 Duramed FUTURES TOUR season concluded, Ashley made it through to the final stage of LPGA Q-School and is beginning to be recognized for her involvement in the "Game On" and The Big Break VI series. She will play the Duramed FUTURES Tour in 2007.
The Big Break VI Bio: Born and bred in the comforts of suburban Northern California, Ashley is a talented player who has succeeded at every level. She began her freshmen year at San Jose State University merely as a member of the golf team, but by her senior year she was the team leader and won the Western Athletic Conference championship. At one point, the two of them alternated being named WAC golfer of the week for a month. She started playing golf at age 12 and began competing at 13. In high school, she played on the boys’ team even after the school formed a girls’ team. Her game was honed in junior golf competing against current LPGA stars Paula Creamer and Natalie Gulbis. The last time they talked, Gulbis asked Ashley when she will join her on Tour. She says that her parents have the greatest influence on her through their support. Ashley enjoys the life of a professional golfer and looks forward to playing everyday. She once attempted to work a desk job, which lasted only a day and half. Her major in college was speech communications because she said she “never stopped talking.”
The Big Break VI Results: Ashley was eliminated in episode eight.
