Alana Uriell fully expected to be sipping a magarita in Mayakoba by the weekend. Instead, she found herself with a weekend tee time.

It's not often that a player has to take PTO to compete on the LPGA. Alana Uriell came into the Riviera Maya Open at Mayakoba in Mexico fully expecting to be next to the pool on the weekend enjoying a margarita. Instead, she found herself with a weekend tee time.

"I have a golf team with me that I play golf with regularly," said Uriell, who now works at Visa, "and I think they're at home right now cheering me on and saying, man, I played golf with her last week. We were having a White Claw together on the golf course. " View this post on Instagram
