Three LSU golfers will open qualifying at the 123rd U.S. Women’s Amateur at Bel-Air Country Club in Los Angeles on Monday.
[autotag]Aine Donegan[/autotag], [autotag]Latanna Stone[/autotag] and [autotag]Taylor Riley[/autotag] are all among the 156-golfer field and look to be among the 64 golfers who advance beyond the two 18-hole rounds of qualifying and on to match play, which begins on Wednesday.
Stone, who will be a graduate student this fall, advanced to match play at the British Women’s Amateur earlier this summer. Donegan, a junior, was one of four amateurs to make the cut at the U.S. Women’s Open at Pebble Beach earlier this summer.
Riley, a sophomore and California native, reached the semifinal in the California State Women’s Amateur earlier this year.
How does a golfer go from anonymous to overnight sensation? A 69 in the opening round of the #USWomensOpen doesn't hurt!@LSUWomensGolf's @DoneganAine will look for another strong showing in California when she tees it up in the #USWomensAm.
