Ingrid Lindblad personifies players’ love of being an amateur
AUGUSTA, Ga. – With her yardage book stuffed in her back pocket and player badge slung around her neck, Ingrid Lindblad lingered behind the clubhouse late Saturday afternoon, squeezing every last sun-drenched moment from her final trip around Augusta National.
Munching on a granola bar, she signed autographs and giggled with LSU teammates and other supporters, in no rush to leave.
Not just Augusta.
But all of this.
“She’s enjoying the moment a lot,” said LSU coach Garrett Runion. “This game beats you up, and yet she has a great appreciation for this event, and for amateur golf in general. She knows how hard it is, how special it is. I love seeing her mature and happy, even in defeat.”
