No one said trying to earn an LPGA Tour card would be easy. And yet few would have imagined it would have started out so hard out for Ingrid Lindblad, a top amateur from Sweden whose on-course talent made up for some off-the-course frustrations last week while winning the second stage of LPGA Q School.
Needless to say the week did not get off to the best of starts. As the 23-year-old fifth-year senior at LSU was flying to Florida for the four-round affair, she had a layover in Atlanta. While at the airport she learned her suitcase was put on an earlier flight to Orlando than the one she was scheduled for. It was a little unusual, but it would get even odder when she arrived herself in Florida.
“As soon as I land at Orlando airport my AirTag is leaving the airport,” Lindblad said.
Apparently, her bag was being stolen. She quickly contacted police, filling out a pair of reports that explained what happened and itemized the lost clothing (Lindblad thankfully had her golf clubs still in her possession.)
“So I started the week with filing two police reports. We met up with the police where the AirTag was last seen,” she said. “That’s how my week started.”
