Ernst was born in Greenville, South Carolina. She played two years for the LSU Tigers, where she won three events including the individual 2011 NCAA Division I Championship.[1]

Professional career edit

In 2014, Ernst won the Portland Classic on the first playoff hole over In-Kyung Kim.[2]

In August 2020, Ernst won the Walmart NW Arkansas Championship, for her second LPGA Tour title. In the final round, she shot 8-under 63 for a two-stroke victory over Anna Nordqvist.[3]

Ernst announced her "semi-retirement" from tournament play in June 2023 due to a lingering neck injury. Her last LPGA Tour event was the 2023 Women's PGA Championship, where she had to withdraw after the first round. She also accepted an assistant coaching position at Texas A&M University.[4]
