"So I just said, 'I’m going to go back to the LET and I’m going to play where I feel my best. I know there is decent money on the LPGA Tour, but money isn’t everything to me. It’s just fun to play golf and enjoy it and I just wasn’t enjoying it anymore."
11. In 2023, Cowan finished in the top 10 of a Major for the first time with a T9 at the AIG Women's Open at Walton Heath.
