Miller Second Bulldog To Qualify For U.S. Amateur
July 16, 2021 | Women's Golf
STARKVILLE – A second Bulldog is bound for the 2021 U.S. Women's Amateur Championship as Mississippi State's Lauren Miller qualified for the prestigious tournament this week.
Â
The junior joins senior Blair Stockett in the 2021 field. The pair follows Ashley Gilliam, who advanced to match play in the 2019 Championship held at Old Waverly Golf Club in West Point, Mississippi.
Â
Miller shot a 1-under 72 in a one-day, 18-hole qualifier at Streamsong Resort in Bowling Green, Florida. After starting the day with bogeys on the first two holes, she rallied back, sinking the ball in two strokes on the par-3 fifth tee and picking up three back-nine birdies. She finished tied for fourth to earn one of five qualifying spots in a tough field that saw just five players finish under par.
Â
This year's U.S. Women's Amateur will be held at Westchester Country Club in Rye, New York, on Aug. 2-8, featuring 156 players. The competition will consist of 36 holes of stroke play over the first two days before the field is cut to 64 for match play. Beginning with the Round of 64 on Aug. 4, the action will air on the GOLF Channel. NBC's Peacock will also stream match play on Aug. 5-6.
