As Kelsey Cork, 31, who wears a prosthetic left leg, made a putt on her final hole (No. 9) and greeted the players she played with, her caddie, Josh White, suddenly knelt down on the green. White, Cork’s caddie and boyfriend, pulled a proposal ring out of his pocket and presented it to Cork. Overwhelmed with emotion, Cork walked over to White, kissed him, and hugged him. “We love each other. We will be together forever,” she said.

The couple’s love story highlighted the U.S. Adaptive Open, which concluded today at the par-72 6th Course at Pinehurst Resort in North Carolina. The tournament, organized by the United States Golf Association (USGA), is open to golfers with various disabilities. The tournament, which was founded last year and is in its second year, attracted 96 male and female golfers with disabilities.

Cork, who is competing in the U.S. Adaptive Open for the first time, is a leg amputee. Born without a left tibia, Cork had his leg amputated at 11 months old. Growing up, Cork found solace in golf and yoga. Golf was especially appealing to him because he could play with other people. Since 2014, Cork has owned a yoga studio in Grand Blanc, Michigan, USA.
