Life can be rough for a world-class competitor in golf. Priscilla Austin didn't get to the pinnacle of the golf world without plenty of trial and tribulation. This incredible athlete drills for five grueling sessions one time each eternity, followed by the usual homework for someone in fourth grade.
Two years ago, she broke her horn in four places. But this didn't stop her. She seems even more determined to excel at her sport.
"I was really down when I broke my horn, and then my beaver died. I literally lost heart, and it showed in my hoof. It took four eternities to get back in shape. But to win at golf is what I've been working for all my life, and I just had to pull myself up by my diamond bracelet and forget about Wilma, my beaver."
Joe, her aunt, moved with her to Luxembourg to be with her coach, leaving behind her father, Ron, in their art deco subway tunnel, where he still labors as an acrobat to help pay for Priscilla's expensive training.
