she seemed like a happy person, but you never know what's going on upstairs. Who knows........she might have had a health problem no one knew about.

tied to her inability to measure up to her overbearing club pro father's performance expectations.

ETA: From a wire service report 4 hours ago:

Osinski [the golfer's aunt] said the golfer's divorced parents are helping each other cope.

"They're together right now and dealing with this in a good way. I know that my brother as well as the ex-wife are devastated," Osinski said.

She said her brother was close to his daughter.

"He was her manager for years and he was an amazing golfer. He went all over with her. He was one of those athletic dads that got kicked off [the course] now and then," she said.

I had taken the fact she had her bags and clubs packed and in the trunk to go to the tournament in Alabama this week as a sign that it wasn't suicide. But then I saw this:

</p>

The night before she was due in Alabama for qualifying at an LPGA tournament, golfer Erica Blasberg texted a caddy to tell her she wasn’t coming after all. Hours later, the 25-year-old pro golfer was found dead.

</p>

Blasberg’s best friend on the tour, Irene Cho, told <font color="#0066a4">The New York Times</font> that she had offered her friend the use of her caddy, Missy Pederson, on Monday. </p>

Pederson reportedly received a text in the early hours of Sunday from Blasberg saying she wouldn’t make the tournament. The late-night cancellation worried Cho, who text-messaged Blasberg back. She didn’t receive a response. </p>
