GIRLS’ JUNIOR STATE AMATEUR: Lauren Timpf Wins

Lauren Timpf of Macomb rallied to beat Lily Bargamian of Grosse Ile 2 and 1 in the final match of the 45th Michigan Girls’ Junior State Amateur Championship at Forest Akers West Golf Course. 

It was the second win in the championship for Timpf, the winner in 2021. The senior-to-be at Macomb Lutheran North High School said this one means more. 

“Back when I won the other one, I was on top of my game and then I kind of went through a little slump last year and I wasn't playing my best,” she said. “So, coming out here and proving to myself that I can win and compete again feels amazing.” 

Timpf is committed to the golf program at Purdue University after completing high school, and Bargamian is headed to Oakland University for college golf.

In the 15-and-under bracket, Esther Zhang of Ann Arbor won with a 4 and 3 score over Madilyn Sheerin of Grand Blanc.
