Erica Blasberg, an LPGA player, died early Monday morning in Henderson, Nev., according to her agent, Chase Callahan. The six-year tour player was only 25 years old.
No cause of death was disclosed, according to a spokeswoman for the Clark County Coroner's Office, because of the pending investigation.
The LPGA confirmed Blasberg's death in a release on Monday.
In her only start this season, Blasberg tied for 44th two weeks ago at the Tres Marias Championship in Morelia, Mexico, after having Monday qualified.
Greg Allen, the former coach at the University of Arizona, remembers a fiery competitor whom the Wildcats affectionately called "Skip." When Blasberg showed up to her first workout as a freshman in 2002, the trainer asked the team to warm up by skipping around the track. Blasberg didn't know how to skip.
Even in young age, Blasberg was a rock-hard ball-striker having a repeatable swing erudited from her father. Though Blasberg did not make the professional splash, she still enjoyed her stint as face of Puma Golf.
