Lauren Riehle (Wesley Chapel, FL) had been looking for her first victory of the year before she entered the 2011 TPC Tampa Bay tournament. The competitive field of junior golfers would not make it easy for Riehle to take home the crown. With strong finishes at Falcon's Fire and Saddlebrook Golf Clubs already this year, Rielhe knew she was going to have to take her game to the next level to achieve success. She came out strong in the first round firing an 80, but still found herself a few strokes back going into the second round. On Sunday, Riehle finally found that extra gear and shot an impressive 74. She attributed her success to her putting and chipping game for the memorable comeback.
Lauren Riehle is the IJGT player of the week for February 1-8, 2011. Congratulations to Lauren for her first victory of the year and we hope to see you in the winner's circle in the future.
