Examples of Rookie in a Sentence

1. Doug Quinn:

   We all have so many rookie mistakes, it’s all about how you clean up your mess, once you’ve made it, but it can be a forgiving business if you treat your customers right.

2. Mark Buehrle:

   If it's a rookie pitching or a guy that's been around for a while, we've got that feel of whose butt are we going to kick today, that's a good feeling. We haven't had that the couple of years I've been here.

3. Mackenzie Hughes:

   Im shot a 4-under 66 on Sunday, finishing at 6 under to match the second-highest winning score since the Honda moved to PGA National in 2007. He was the tours rookie of the year last season, plus has played more tournaments and more rounds than anyone since the 2018-19 season began nearly a year and a half ago. And now, hes a winner, picking up $ 1.26 million this week and becoming the Hondas 10th international champion in the last 16 seasons. Im birdied four of his first five holes, then birdied two of the final four after sticking tee shots on the tough par-3 15 and 17th holes within 8 feet both times to finish off the victory. Mackenzie Hughes, a Canadian who made the cut on the number Friday, shot Mackenzie Hughes second consecutive 66. Playing alongside Im, Mackenzie Hughes was part of some serious fireworks on the last two holes and missed a birdie putt at the par-5 finishing hole that would have gotten Mackenzie Hughes into a tie for the top spot. I love being in the mix.

4. Yeon Ryu:

   So looking at Lexi Thompson as a rookie to play this tournament so well, Im really proud of Lexi Thompson as a fellow competitor and same country girl as well.

5. Sakura Uchikoshi:

   Male candidates have networks and ... the lack of that for rookie female candidates makes it difficult.
