Professional career

In December 2012, Clyburn tied 25th at the Lalla Aicha Tour School[7] to earn her tour card for the 2013 Ladies European Tour. In her rookie year of 2013, she won her first tournament, the Deloitte Ladies Open in Amsterdam,[8] and finished 7th on the LET Order of Merit.[9] The latter was helped by two additional top 10 finishes, tied 6th at the Turkish Airlines Ladies Open and 3rd at the Ladies Scottish Open.[10] In addition Clyburn appeared at two majors, the Women's British Open where she tied for 36th and the Evian Championship, where she tied for 27th.[10] She was narrowly beaten to the title of LET Rookie of the Year by Charley Hull, when Hull placed higher in the final tournament of the season.[11]

In 2014, Clyburn secured more top ten finishes, including tied for 6th at the Lalla Meryem Cup, tied for 9th at the Turkish Airlines Ladies Open,[12] and runner-up to Florentyna Parker at the Ladies Italian Open.[13] She appeared at major championships the Women's British Open and came through qualifying for the U.S. Women's Open[14] but missed the cut at both.[12][15]
