Morgan Pressel is a teenage American golf prospect from Boca Raton, Florida. She has won numerous junior titles. In 2001 she played in the U.S. Women's Open as a 13 year old. In 2005, at the age of 17, she was one of three co-leaders going into the final round of the U.S. Women's Open, and finished in a tie for second place. Pressel was in position to win when Birdie Kim chipped in from the bunker on 18 to give her a one stroke lead. Pressel wasn't able to chip in from the fairway to tie, and finished in 2nd after making bogey on the 18th. In 2005, she also won the U.S. Women's Amateur championship.

Pressel attended Banyan Creek Elementary School and Omni Middle School. The niece of former Top 10 tennis player Aaron Krickstein, Pressel was featured in an August issue of Sports Illustrated.
