Our 2016 Colorado Women’s Open Champion gets it done AGAIN on the LPGA Tour, DOMINATING the field by 5 strokes. This is Lauren’s THIRD time winning on the LPGA (2024 CPKC Women’s Open, ISPS Handa Women’s Scottish Open) making her the 12th best on the Rolex Women’s World Golf Rankings!

Lauren’s first time playing in the Colorado Women’s Open was in 2016 where she fired a 5-under 67 in the final round to fend off Jennifer Hahn and Joy Trotter to claim victory. 2017 she finished T6, made it to the LPGA in 2018, then came back to the Colorado Open in 2022 to finish runner-up to Claris’s Guce.
