AUGUSTA, Georgia – Finally, the chance to play, in what even in its second year may be the greatest showcase of women's amateur golf, has arrived for LSU sophomore Ingrid Lindblad.
And, after one of her best college triumphs in her last start at the prestigious Liz Murphey Intercollegiate at Athens, Georgia, who is to say that Augusta, Georgia wasn't already on this Swedish star's mind?
Wednesday, the nation's number four amateur will be one of 82 golfers teeing off in the second women's amateur championship inaugurated and sponsored by the Augusta National Golf Course, with the top 30 after 36 holes competing on the famed course.
