Li shot a pair of 78s in 2014 to miss the cut. Li was the youngest match-play qualifier in U.S. Women’s Amateur Public Links history at 10 years, 8 months, 16 days in 2013, surpassing Michelle Wie’s record by 7 days. She also is the youngest U.S. Women’s Amateur qualifier (10 years, 10 months, 4 days), achieving that in August 2013. Li won the Girls 10-11 Division of the inaugural Drive, Chip & Putt Championship at Augusta National in 2014. In 2016, she captured the PGA Girls Junior Championship. In 2018, she helped the USA Curtis Cup Team to a 17-3 victory over Great Britain & Ireland at Quaker Ridge Golf Club. That same year, she was medalist in both the U.S. Girls’ Junior and U.S. Women’s Amateur. Li turned pro late in 2019 and has competed on the Symetra Tour. Still seeking her first win, Li shared runner-up honors in the 2020 Symetra Classic.
