Gemma Dryburgh was able to get into the CME Group Tournament Championship, the season-opening Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions and the majors. She also won the $300,000 winner’s cheque. Gemma Dryburgh also won a Toto toilet because of her victory in Japan.
Dryburgh replied, “So they asked me,” “Where do you want the toilet sent?”
Dryburgh asked about shipping the toilet, as the Tulane graduate is currently renting a New Orleans apartment.
Although winning is something players strive for all their lives, it can be very different in reality. Dryburgh’s Whoop said that the Toto Japan Classic’s final round was one of her calmest and most enjoyable. Her dad’s jokes played a part.
After the win, she ate champagne and octopus and planned for her prized toilet.
Dryburgh was one of 11 record-breaking first-time LPGA winners this season. She flew from Japan at 7:15 a.m. and arrived in Florida by Monday afternoon for the Pelican Women’s Championship.
Dryburgh said that he was honest and truthful. “To be honest, it took me a while to get over my alcoholism on the flight.” Perhaps I shouldn’t tell the media this, but I did have some champagne.
Dryburgh, the fourth Scot to win on tour is still buzzing with excitement. She climbed to No. 107 in the Rolex Rankings. 92.
She will send a thank you message to Justin Rose and Kate for their confidence in competing in the Rose Ladies Series during a period of COVID-19, when professional golf tours were closed. Three of the three events were won by Dryburgh.
She said, “In that time during COVID and the next year, it was just valuable to have those playing chances.” They were also small events, so they had decent fields. Charley (Hull), Georgia (Hall), and Charley [Let] were all playing them, along with a lot more LET players. Those wins were very important to me.”
Dryburgh, a first-time Pelican player, played nine holes on Tuesday. She also played nine more in the pro-am. Dryburgh was asked by a number of players if she would withdraw from the event. However, her parents were already there to see her play in Belleair. She’s still enjoying catching up and celebrating with her win with caddies and players.
She said, “I still can’t believe it’s possible,”
