Age 15
Talley is a high school sophomore who has enjoyed a remarkable 2024 competitive season.
At 15 years, 105 days, Talley was the youngest competitor in this year's U.S. Women's Open where she shared low-amateur honors with 2023 US Women’s Amateur champion Megan Schofill and University of Southern California standout Catherine Park.
Talley started her year by winning the Junior Invitational at Sage Valley, then finished eighth in the Augusta National Women's Amateur, just a few weeks after being one of the ten girls named to the inaugural US National Junior Team.
A few days after attending a national team camp at Atlanta Athletic Club, she traveled to San Antonio, Texas, where she claimed the US Women's Amateur Four-Ball title with partner Sarah Lim.
Later in the summer, she made it to the final match of the US Girls’ Junior and U.S. Women’s Amateur, becoming the first player in history to appear in three USGA championship matches in one year.
In 2023, she captured the Rolex Girls Junior Championship, and represented her country in the 2023 Junior Solheim Cup in Spain. A year earlier, she reached the last-16 in the 2022 US Girls' Junior at 13 years of age.
