“Very excited for Ingrid as she played extremely well earning her third individual win,” said head coach Garrett Runion. “It was jump started by her collegiate career low and women’s tournament course record of 8-under 64 that was very impressive. With cold temperatures and high winds, we struggled at the start of our second and third round but rallied both days on the back nine to pick up some key wins over some good teams. Next we host our home tournament which we have been looking forward to and will be motivated to show off University Club (UC) and play our best.”

Lindblad continues to finish in the Top-10 at each tournament this season. She finished the round with two consecutive birdies on No. 17 and 18 to claim the victory. Her first-round score of 8-under 64 puts her in a three-way tie for LSU’s school record for a single low round.

Kendall Griffin shot a 14-over total of 230. She recorded six birdies for the tournament and finished in a five-way tie for 44^th place. Carla Tejedo Mulet finished 15-over total of 231 placing her in a three-way tie for 49^th place.

Latanna Stone and Presley Baggett both contributed to the team scoring during the tournament, shooting 18-over total of 234 and 26-over total of 242 finishing T55 and T83.

LSU beat an impressive list of ranked teams, finishing ahead of No. 12 Auburn, No. 13 Georgia, No. 19 Alabama, No. 22 Florida, No. 26 Vanderbilt, No. 36 Tennessee and No. 37 Louisville.

Up next for Lindblad is the Augusta National Women’s Amateur on March 31-April 3. For the Tigers as a team, they will close out the regular season hosting the LSU Tiger Golf Classic on April 6^th and 7^th at the University Club.
