Stackhouse was two years old when she began following her father to the driving range; it didn't take long for her to pick up clubs of her own. At six she started competing; by 14 she was the youngest winner of the Georgia Women's Amateur Championship in stroke play.
The victories didn't stop there: Stackhouse has competed at the U.S. Open twice, and last year she led the U.S. to victory as the first African American player in the Curtis Cup, a biennial matchup among the U.S., Great Britain, and Ireland. She's on the links at Stanford too, where she has set scoring records (tying Tiger Woods) and played with Condoleezza Rice ("We didn't keep score," Stackhouse says, laughing).
The public-speaking pro (her pregame speeches motivate her teammates) hopes to pursue a career in broadcast journalism; for now she has her sights on the LPGA: "Preparing myself to play on tour with the world's best women is my driving focus every day." 
We teamed her with: Glamour introduced all our winners to mentors in their respective fields. Stackhouse spoke to pro golfer Stacy Lewis, who told her to surround herself with people she trusts: "They'll tell you the good and the bad. We all need that."
