In this latest Player Interview I am joined by LPGA Tour player & current World Rank Number 56 Lauren Coughlin as we talk through her stellar start to 2024 with 3 Top 10's and 8 Top 25's amassed already including a LPGA career best finish of T3rd at the first Major of the year at Chevron Championship where Lauren was First Round Leader after shooting a 66! She's followed that performance at Chevron with a T8th at Ford Championship and T9th at LPGA ShopRite Classic. We find out how she has found more consistency within her game at the top level which she puts down to improvement with the Putting all year! 

Lauren is a 3x Virginia Amateur Champion & won the 2016 ACC Individual title in College at University of Arizona where she has resided since 10 years old! Lauren turned professional in 2016 starting off on the Symetra Tour (Epson) with not much success at the start but things changed in 2018 after winning a LPGA Tour Card at LPGA Final Quali Tournament finishing T7th to gain status on Tour, while making a cross over back to the Symetra Tour Lauren would win the 2018 PHC Classic by a shot to Dottie Ardina as a result Lauren would make her Major Championship debut appareance at Evian Championship!
