She had to postpone her college enrollment when her mother suffered a brain aneurysm that left her with tunnel-vision blindness and for the next three and a half years Moodie worked in the winter (including a few weeks in a nightclub) so she could play competitive amateur golf in the summer.

[7][8] Moodie enrolled at San Jose State University to play collegiate golf for the Spartans, graduating in 1997 with a degree in psychology.

Her best result was fourth place which she achieved once in Europe at the Weetabix Women's British Open and once in the United States at the City of Hope Myrtle Beach Classic.

[16] In 2002, Moodie won her second LPGA title at the Asahi Ryokuken International Championship[17] and was somewhat controversially not one of Dale Reid's captain picks for the Solheim Cup having chosen to play in the U.S. rather than on the LET in the run up to selection.

[23] Moodie and Matthew continued their partnership at the 2006 Women's World Cup of Golf[24] and made it three appearances in a row when she paired with Mhairi McKay in the 2007 staging.
