STILLWATER — Pernilla Lindberg can't wait for the NCAA golf championships to arrive at Karsten Creek Golf Club later this month.
The 31-year-old played her last round of collegiate golf eight years ago, but when the NCAA women's tournament begins on May 18, Lindberg will finally get to show her LPGA peers the course she's been telling them about.
Karsten Creek will get dozens of hours of television time on NBC's Golf Channel, which will provide live broadcasts of both the men's and women's events from Oklahoma State's home course.
“My first two years on tour, I still based myself in Stillwater because I didn't want to leave this place,” said Lindberg, the former OSU star and recent LPGA major championship winner who returned to Karsten Creek for Thursday's media day for the NCAA championships.
