If Lauren Kim is intimidated by storied Augusta National Golf Club, it doesn't show. The 19-year-old collegiate golfer from Surrey, B.C., is the lone Canadian in the field at the Augusta National Women's Amateur this week.
The 19-year-old collegiate golfer from Surrey, B.C., is the lone Canadian in the field at the Augusta National Women's Amateur this week. She said that her strategy at the elite amateur event is to take the tournament one shot at a time, a strategy that paid off as she had an even-par 72 in Wednesday's opening round."The biggest thing is to try and get up in the top 30 and make it to the weekend," said Kim after her practice round on Tuesday.
"And some shots around the trees and some of the fairways here are a little narrow with the trees and the branches." That cerebral approach is why it's so important for Kim to remain unfazed by one of golf's most famous courses.
