It all started when her dad wanted someone to play golf with. He made sure Lauren Tibbets and her sister always had a club in their hands, hoping they would like playing golf as much as he did. To say she liked playing was an understatement. Tibbets loved the game, and it helped that she was exceptionally good at it.
Tibbets, from Converse, Indiana, started golfing seriously in the eighth grade.
