@MVI_sports @EFSDWarriors @PghGolfGirlMya @CMUWGolf @lbelanMVI More here from @lbelanMVI on the challenges of playing in a difficult challenge like a U.S. Open qualifier and the experience you can gain from competing against a field of talented players.

Some things didn’t go Mya Morgan’s way this week in a U.S. Women’s Open qualifier at Shannopin CC — but the two-time PIAA state champion said she’s chomping at the bit to get started at Central Michigan having played her final tournament as a junior golfer.

[Mike Darnay @MikeDarnay]

With her dad Tony on the bag for her for the last decade, Mya said it was a little sad to see that chapter of her life come to a close, but also exciting to be able to start to compete at the collegiate level soon.
