Lauren Kim, a 19-year-old collegiate golfer from Canada, is participating in the Augusta National Women's Amateur. She is focused on taking the tournament one shot at a time and aims to make it to the weekend. Kim won the 2023 Canadian Women's Amateur Championship to qualify for last year's CPKC Women's Open.
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. 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. Kim was in an 11-way tie for 29th, six shots behind leader Hannah Darling of Scotland.
"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."But that's not really going to be on my mind, I'm just going to focus on the shot ahead of me and try and stay present. That's the most important thing." Kim won the 2023 Canadian Women's Amateur Championship on Aug. 4 to play at last year's CPKC Women's Open at Shaughnessy Golf & Country Club in Vancouve
