Mariah Stackhouse (born March 4, 1994)[1] is an American professional golfer on the U.S.-based LPGA Tour. Stackhouse is a graduate of Stanford University, where she was a four-year All-American, and majored in communications. She helped the Cardinal to an NCAA title in 2015. In 2011, at the age of 17, she became the youngest African American woman to earn a spot in the field at the U.S. Open. In 2014, she became the first African American woman to make the Curtis Cup team, which the United States won that year.[2]

## Early life and amateur career

[edit]

Stackhouse is the daughter of Ken Stackhouse, formerly a partner in an architectural firm, and Sharon Stackhouse, a hospital administrator.[3]

When Stackhouse was a 2-year old, her father cut down a set of golf clubs for her. "I began to practice alongside him, and he never stopped taking me. I guess I developed a liking for the game, I kept practicing, and here I am now," says Stackhouse.[4] She played in her first tournament at age 6 and tied for first.[2]

Stackhouse graduated from North Clayton High School in Riverdale, GA, where she was elected class president two years in a row.[5]

In 2013 as a freshman at Stanford, Stackhouse shot a 61 at the Peg Barnard Invitational Tournament which set an NCAA scoring record. Her round of 61 included a front nine score of 26 (−9).[6]

At the 2015 NCAA Division I Championship, Stackhouse finished 6th in the individual competition and led her team to the team title.

## Professional career

[edit]

### 2016–Present

[edit]

Stackhouse qualified for the LPGA Tour by finishing in a tie for 21st at the LPGA Qualifying Tournament to earn Priority List Category 17 status for the 2017 LPGA season.[7] In making her professional debut in the Portland Classic in June 2016, she became the seventh African American woman to earn a LPGA Tour card.[8]

In the 2018 ShopRite LPGA Classic, Stackhouse finished in 7th place, her best showing at that point in her professional career.[9] On June 9, 2019 she started in the final group at the ShopRite LPGA Classic and finished tied for 5th, a career best.[10]
