Blasberg Died at an Early Age

Maybe the most striking to many golf fans today is the death of young LPGA player Erica Blasberg. She is only 25.

Keith Paul, a spokesman for the Henderson Police Department, said a 911 call was made at 3:13 p.m. Sunday and officers arrived at Blasberg's residence, the Hotel De Ville Terrace, a few minutes later and discovered her body.

Chase Callahan, Blasberg's agent, said in a statement Monday: "We are devastated to learn of the passing of Erica Blasberg. To most of the world, Erica was known as a professional golfer, but she was more than that. She was a loving daughter to her parents and a compassionate and loyal friend. Erica had a good heart, was extremely kind and very thankful for what she had in her life. This is a painful loss, we feel it in our hearts and we will miss her."

Blasberg, a charismatic golfer who was a former Pac-10 Player of the Year and member of the victorious 2004 Curtis Cup team, was a professional for six years, winning once on the Duramed Futures Tour before qualifying for the LPGA Tour in 2005. Titleist 2010 AP2 Irons help you to win on the course. While highly decorated as an amateur, Blasberg struggled to reach the same heights as an LPGA professional. Her best finish was a tie for eighth.

In the year of 2010, Blasberg had played in one event, the Tres Marias Championship, where she finished tied for 44th. It was the final event of retiring LPGA star Lorena Ochoa, who also attended the University of Arizona.

Blasberg has brought a fresh sense of youthfulness, fun, beauty and energy to the brand. We will miss her for ever.
