 -- The 24-year old pro-golfer Brooke Pancake finally drew a surprising line in the sand trap when it comes to what's on her breakfast table.

Pancake just announced she has an endorsement deal with Waffle House, based in Norcross, Georgia.

"What an exciting, fun day," she posted on Instagram. "And to think this all began when I announced on national television that I actually like waffles more than pancakes...on National Pancake Day."

Pancake became a member of the LPGA tour after leading the University of Alabama to the school's first national golf championship in 2012.

The first team All-American and recipient of the Honda Award as the nation's top collegiate golfer said she's always been a Waffle House fan since growing up in Chattanooga, Tennessee.

"And to be quite honest, I prefer waffles over pancakes anyway," Pancake said in a statement.
