LPGA veteran Amy Olson gives birth to daughter Carly Gray

LPGA veteran Amy Olson announced on Instagram that she and husband Grant welcomed their first child, Carly Gray Olson, on Sept. 15.

“We are so blessed and grateful to God who gives good gifts!” Olson wrote. “So many answered prayers in this little bundle.”

Olson, 31, played the U.S. Women’s Open in July at Pebble Beach while seven months pregnant. It was her last competitive event before going on maternity leave.

An LPGA veteran since 2014, Olson wasn’t sure what motherhood would mean to her playing career.

“Truly I like couldn’t tell you either way,” said Olson in the run-up to Pebble. “I want to see how it goes. I have been super, super blessed and thankful for everything I’ve been able to do out here. I love it, and I think I probably will never do what I’ve done over the last nine years, playing 25 weeks out of the year.”

Olson is the winningest player in college golf history, claiming 20 titles while at North Dakota State. Husband Grant is a special teams coordinator and linebackers coach at North Dakota State. He has been part of three NCAA Division I FCS national championship teams as a player and three as a coach with the Bison.
