Road to Pine Needles: Qualified at Hockley, Texas, site on May 3
Lindblad, who tied for 30th in 2020 at Champions Golf Club, will make her second U.S. Women’s Open start after being added to the field as a first alternate from the Hockley, Texas, site. She currently is the No. 2 player in the Women’s World Amateur Golf Ranking® behind Rose Zhang. A junior at Louisiana State, Lindblad finished tied for second with LSU teammate Latanna Stone in the 2022 Augusta National Women's Amateur. As a freshman, she was the Southeastern Conference's Player of the Year and Freshman of the Year, becoming the first Tiger to achieve the feat. Her scoring average that season was a program-best 70.33. Last summer, she won the European Ladies Amateur by three strokes over Alexandra Forsterling, who also qualified for this year's U.S. Women's Open, while capturing a pair of victories on the Nordic Tour, a developmental professional circuit in Europe. In 2019, Lindblad led Sweden to the 2019 European Ladies’ Team Championship. This spring, she holed a 38-foot eagle putt on the final hole to win the SEC individual title, and helped the Tigers to its first team championship in 30 years by going 2-0-1 in three matches.
