Former BYU golfer Lea Garner extends her reign in the Utah Women’s Open

Provo • Professional golfers are always looking for places to play, so Lea Garner was thrilled last year when the Utah Section PGA launched the Siegfried & Jensen Utah Women’s Open.

The former BYU golfer completed a five-stroke victory at East Bay Golf Course, playing a fairly stress-free final round in contrast to her win last August that required a birdie on the 18th hole. Her strategy of “just kind playing my own game and not worrying about what everyone else was doing” worked nicely, as she pulled away in the middle of the round to earn the $2,000 first prize.
