Early life and junior golf

College golf

As a junior, Moore won the deciding match in the 2018 NCAA Women's Golf Championship, to give Arizona the title over the University of Alabama. [5]

After her junior and senior seasons at University of Arizona, Moore attained the position of #21 on the World Amateur Golf Rankings. As a result, she was invited by The Board of Governors of Augusta National Golf Club to participate in the inaugural Augusta National Women's Amateur as one of the top-30 ranked amateurs in the world. The first two rounds were held at nearby Champions Retreat in Augusta, Georgia. The field was cut to the low 30 players with the final round being held at Augusta National. By virtue of her scores of 71-73 in the first two rounds, Moore qualified for that final round. In her final round, she made par on her first 15 holes. She shot 71-73-72=216 for the event and finish in a tie for 7th place. Moore said, "I was just grateful and blessed to be out there, just knowing that Augusta was really strictly only open to men at one point. And for them to now have women be able to go out there and play, and the top amateurs out there it was just amazing. I just enjoyed the experience while I was there." [6]

Professional career

Upon graduation from the University of Arizona in May 2019, Moore turned professional in June 2019. She played on the Cactus Tour, winning twice.

Moore competed in the California State Women's Open contested at the Omni La Costa Resort and Spa, Carlsbad, California in July 2019. Moore posted a career low round of 64. She then followed it up on the second day with a 73 to post a 3 shot victory and her second professional title.

On November 2, 2019 Moore earned her LPGA Tour card for the 2020 season at Q-Series in Pinehurst, North Carolina, finishing in 11th place.
