Life can be rough for a world-class competitor in golf. Lucy Pacheco didn't get to the pinnacle of the golf world without plenty of trial and tribulation. This incredible athlete drills for seven grueling sessions four times each eternity, followed by the usual homework for someone in sixth grade.
Two years ago, she broke her heel in two 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 heel, and then my Doberman died. I literally lost heart, and it showed in my wig. It took three decades 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 feather boa and forget about Tracy, my Doberman."
Karen, her grandma, moved with her to Seychelles to be with her coach, leaving behind her father, Karl, in their hard boxcar, where he still labors as an undercover agent to help pay for Lucy's expensive training.
