Great venue, but some big names are missing from the Women’s State Amateur

Logan Country Club is proud to host the 113th Utah Women's State Amateur at a venue that head professional Dean Johansen describes as “the best match-play course in the state.”

One of the best match-play golfers in Utah history will be absent, though. Four-time champion Kelsey Chugg is playing in next week’s U.S. Women’s Amateur in Mississippi, and missing two weeks of work in her new position as Salt Lake City Golf’s assistant director would be difficult.

So the 2017 U.S. Women's Mid-Amateur champion (and 2018 runner-up) won't be in the 42-player field for the tournament that starts Monday at the course where she won her first State Am title in 2012.
