She spent three hours trying to ring her mom to tell her she was engaged.
When she Facetimed her relative in Ireland to share the good news, she ran into further communication issues. The only thing her relative could make out on the screen was that the golf pro was shouting, “surprise.”
She was unable to understand the cause of all the excitement. However, later that day, everything made sense when their phone connection improved, and it was easier to see the ring perched on her finger. After receiving the news, her cousin remarked with a simple answer that he already guessed it.

Golfer Stephanie Plans To Buy House For The Couple
Stephanie and Kyle are already planning to settle down for the future, as news of her looking to buy a house came out recently.
During her professional debut at the 2014 U.S. Women’s Open on Pinehurst No. 2, she ranked third winning $285,102 with her efforts. It was a massive sum for a newly graduated college student.
Even though it was difficult for her in the early days, after losing her father, she eventually stood back on her feet. While she was receiving a significant payout from her career, the U.S. Women’s Open prize money has made their lives much better.

Still, she must measure the risk of doing so against the likelihood that she could suffer an injury or experience another difficult period where no money is flowing in. Instead, she wants to live a happy life with her soon-to-be husband, Kallan.
