PROVO — Lea Garner cruised to her second straight Siegfried & Jensen Utah Women’s Open title Thursday with a five-stroke victory over amateurs Katrina Prendergast of Sparks, Nevada, and Carly Dehlin of Draper.
Garner, a 2016 graduate of BYU, added a 5-under-par 67 to her 68 Wednesday at East Bay Golf Course to easily outdistance the field and claim the $2,000 first prize.
The Washington Terrace pro was tied with recent BYU graduate Annie Yang going into the round and got out quickly with a birdie at the first hole and two more birds on the front nine for a 34.
