One of the four designs worn by caddies throughout the tournament at Memorial Park was a watercolor work of handprints.
"There's only so much Elsa that I can watch," Amanda said smiling. "So we would do a lot of art, and then she and I would hang her artwork up. I started bringing a roll of tape, and we'd hang everything up in her room just for some color decoration." The same art that helped Maggie through her hospital stays and clinic appointments was worn during the Houston Open by Ted Scott, the caddie for Scottie Scheffler who is the top-ranked golfer in the world.
"There's been so many moments in this that, you know, you never imagine your life like going down this path," Justin Hill, Maggie's father, shared. "It's kind of surreal. And this is, at least one of those, that it's a good moment to have happen."By winning the Texas Children's Houston Open, Stephan Jaeger earns more than $1.6 million, but Maggie's family says that's not the only prize.
"They really want to showcase what the kids can do," Amanda said of Texas Children's Hospital. "And it just makes them feel like a million bucks."
