Amanda Blumenherst (born November 4, 1986) is an American professional golfer who plays on the U.S.-based LPGA Tour. She was a three-time National Player of the Year at Duke University and won the U.S. Women's Amateur title in 2008. In 2013, she announced that she would take a leave from professional golf to spend more time with her husband, major league baseball player Nate Freiman. ==Early life and personal life== Blumenherst was born in Scottsdale, Arizona, the daughter of Amy (McClure) and David Blumenherst.〔()〕 She began playing golf at the age of four. She attended high school at Xavier College Preparatory in Phoenix, where she was a four-time Rolex All-American and was the third-ranked national recruit as a senior. She led Xavier College Prep to the 5A state championships for four straight years. She held Arizona's 5A High School Girl's Golf State Tournament record with a score of 69–66=135 (−9). Blumenherst married Oakland A's baseball player Nate Freiman in December 2012. He holds Duke University's career home run record, and the school's second-highest all-time batting average. The two were Duke's ACC Senior Male and Female Athletes of the Year in 2009. Freiman has caddied for her seven times at LPGA tournaments.〔 He remarked: "I'm probably more nervous than she is. I don't choose the clubs, but I have to give her the yardage. I'm adding up all of the numbers, and I better be right. It's nerve-wracking, but a lot of fun." In August 2013 at the age of 26, eight months after being married, and after six top-10 finishes in her first three years on the LPGA Tour, she announced that she would take a leave from professional golf at the end of 2013 to spend more time with her husband. She said: "I don't want to say I'm retiring, because you never know what will happen. Maybe I'll decide in a couple years to come back, and this will just be a little break, you never know."〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Amanda Blumenherst」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
