  "Following my professional debut several weeks ago at the Subaru Memorial of Naples, my family and I decided that it would be in my best interest to sign with a management company," said Cartwright, who made the cut in Naples."After reviewing all my options, I felt Gaylord Sports was the place for me."
  
  Cartwright, 17, became the youngest champion in history to win the U.S. Women's Amateur Public Links earlier this year.A resident of Bonita Springs, Florida and recent graduate of Estero High School, Cartwright concluded her high school career last fall by capturing her second consecutive FHSAA Class 2A state girl's golf title.In the history of Florida high school golf, only eight other girls have won consecutive titles.
  
  "We are delighted to represent Catherine," said Tim McNulty, who will manage Catherine at GSM."We are delighted to represent Catherine," said Tim McNulty, who will manage Catherine at GSM.

  Golf: Catherine Cartwright captures Open spot - [Cached Version]
  Last Visited: 6/19/2002  

  There finally was a bright spot in a difficult season for Catherine Cartwright.
  
  The 19-year-old from Bonita Springs qualified for the U.S. Women's Open on Tuesday, shooting a 71 in her second 18 holes of the 36-hole sectional qualifier to grab one of the final spots at Webster Golf Club in Rochester, N.Y.
  
  Cartwright had a 150 total, tying for the final spots with four others.
  
  "I'm really excited about it," she said.
  
  Cartwright, the youngest LPGA Tour member this year, shot a 79 in her first round, putting her in jeop ardy of missing one of the 20 qualifying spots.
  
  Following the first round, Cartwright and her father/ caddie, Paul, went to the range and discovered a drill to work out the problem she was having with her swing.
  
  "My dad just told me to play for pride on the second 18.I wasn't even expecting to get in," she said."I was just loose and had a really good time.I had fun again playing golf and I played well."
  
  There were only 38 players in the qualifier, and Fort Myers' Terry-Jo Myers did not play.
  
  The two-time Florida state high school champion joins Naples' Kristin Tamulis, a junior on the golf team at Florida State, and part-time Estero resident Karen Weiss, who won the sectional qualifier she played in, in the Open, which is July 4-7 at Prairie Dunes Country Club in Hutchinson, Kan.
  ...
  Cartwright originally was in a sectional qualifier in Long Grove, Ill., two weeks ago.She got in 14 holes and was just 1-over before rain suspended play.After more rain fell the next day, the qualifier was canceled altogether - meaning Cartwright's score was wiped out.Players were given the option of coming back to Long Grove on June 11 or going to Rochester on Tuesday.
  
  Cartwright has struggled the entire year as she copes with being a non-exempt player on the LPGA Tour.
  
  That has meant she has had to go through dreaded Monday qualifiers to get one of two spots in that week's LPGA Tour event.She missed in her first six attempts before getting in, then missed the cut.Cartwright also missed the cut in two LPGA Tour events she did get in on her status and has missed cuts on the Futures Tour in three of four tournaments.
  
  "I haven't been playing great this whole season," said Cartwright, who turned professional in January 2001 and finished 10th on the Futures Tour money list."It was just the same thing it's always been this season.
  
  Something just clicked on the next 18 and I started playing well.
  
  "It helps when you go out and have fun instead of being all uptight about every little thing."
  
  ...
  Cartwright didn't get out of the Monday qualifier for this week's Wegmans Rochester International, so she will travel to Grand Rapids, Mich., for a Futures Tour event, which begins on Friday.Cartwright will play in the Monday qualifier for next week's ShopRite LPGA Classic, then come home after the qualifier if she doesn't make it, or the tournament, if she does qualify.

  New outlook paying off for Cartwright | BonitaNews.com - [Cached Version]
  Published on: 2/18/2006    Last Visited: 2/18/2006  

  Catherine Cartwright read what 2005 U.S. Open Michael Campbell did to rejuvenate his game.
  
  Campbell wrote a letter to himself â€" it ended up being nothing negative.He rededicated himself and won the Open.
  
  "I guaranteed my letter would be the same way," Cartwright said.
  
  >
  
  So Cartwright did a little soul searching, and made a point to enter 2006 with a positive mind-set.And one that would stay, no matter what happened.
  
  "I really worked on my confidence in myself and my game a lot more than ever before," she said.
  ...
  Cartwright shot a first-round 74 on Thursday in the SBS Open at Turtle Bay in Hawaii.The second round was still in progress at press time.
  
  Cartwright did leave Australia with the winner's check because the winner was an amateur.And she did leave with some confidence based on how she finished regulation.With Amy Yang, the amateur, in the 18th fairway with a two-shot lead, Cartwright hit her approach to 20 feet.
  ...
  Needing a birdie to have a chance, Cartwright did just that.
  
  "It was one of those putts when you're sitting over it and you're like ‘this is going in,' " said Cartwright, who went to Australia at the urging of fellow LPGA Tour pro Catherine Hull and also finished 19th in another event there.
  ...
  Cartwright, an Estero High School graduate and back-to-back state champion, sat in the scorers' trailer, watching and waiting.
  ...
  Still, Cartwright played well at a crucial time.
  ...
  Cartwright is hoping her 2006 schedule will work out OK.She lost her exempt status, finishing 97th on the money list and failing to regain it at Q-School.
  
  "If I'm not in, I'll have to go Monday-qualify," she said."I'm just going to go to the tournaments and if I'm in, I'm going to play."
  
  With the LPGA Tour finally scheduling a regular-season event in Florida for the first time in a few years, Cartwright could have the chance to play at home for the first time as an LPGA Tour member.

  Catherine Cartwright and Natalie Gulbis are two such players.
  ...
  Cartwright is a wee 18-year-old but at six-feet tall she is already a giant in the golf world.In 2000 she finished 57th at Subaru and won the U.S. Women's Public Links Championship.After turning pro, she played in the 2001 Subaru Memorial of Naples and finished with a respectable 65th place.By the time the Tour wraped up in November of 2001, Cartwright - the youngest member of the LPGA Tour - will have just turned 19.
  
  Gulbis is only two months younger than Cartwright, and like her fellow rookie, she has a few things going for her.
