In 2012, Amanda competed in 23 LPGA events, making 12 cuts and securing one top-five finish at the LPGA Thailand. She tied her career-low round by shooting a 66 in the first round of the Navistar LPGA Classic. The year prior, in 2011, she finished ninth at the Sime Darby LPGA Malaysia and tied for 12th at the Kia Classic. Her first top-10 LPGA result came in 2010 with a tie for seventh at the Tres Marias Championship. She also tied for 16th at the Bell Micro LPGA Classic that same year.
In 2013, Amanda announced she would take a leave of absence from professional golf to spend more time with her husband, Nate Freiman, who was then a professional baseball player for the Oakland Athletics. Balancing two athletic careers had presented logistical challenges, especially while planning their wedding. Amanda stated that she never intended to balance professional golf with starting a family and was content with the idea of playing for a decade before stepping away.
Amanda's excellence in golf began early. She was a four-time Rolex Junior All-American (2002–2005), a two-time Arizona 5A Player of the Year (2003–2004), and received major awards including Arizona High School Female Athlete of the Year (2005) and Phoenix Women’s Sports Association Athlete of the Year (2004).
Outside of golf, Amanda enjoys baking, skiing, playing cards, and watching movies. Travel is another passion of hers, and her favorite destinations include Thailand, Scotland, Hawaii, Singapore, France, Vancouver, Jamaica, Brazil, and Malaysia—where she particularly enjoys competing.
Amanda has long admired golf legend Nancy Lopez, whom she cites as a major inspiration. Her coach at Duke, Dan Brooks, praised her work ethic and positivity, calling her a model student-athlete. Though she stepped away from full-time competition, Amanda’s impact on both collegiate and professional golf remains significant.
