St. Albans, MO – The 91st LNGA Amateur Championship, one of the nation’s longest, consecutively played women’s amateur championships, will take place July 26-28 at the Country Club of St. Albans.
85 of the best women’s amateur golfers will take on the Lewis and Clark course, which will play 6,374 yards and par 72. Players are making their way to Saint Louis from 30 states across the country, as well as from Australia, England, Canada, China and Chinese Taipei.
Following Tuesday’s second round, the field will be cut to the low 60 scores and ties after 36 holes are completed. The LNGA Amateur champion and runner-up will be crowned at the end of the final round on Wednesday.
