Last year, Li qualified for the U.S. Women's Amateur Publinx as a 10-year old, reported Ryan Lavner.
Li won the 10-11 division at April's Drive, Chip and Putt Championship, reported Ron Kroichick.
**Li is the youngest ever to qualify, but not the youngest ever to compete in the USWO. Cassie Stein explains:
Beverly Klass, at age 10, played in the 1967 USWO, before qualifiers were introduced.
**Morning Drive featured Li this morning and you can see her swing from the Drive, Chip and Putt.
