GREENVILLE, N.C. - East Carolina freshman Lene Krog is one of 12 European Junior golfers that will participate in the third annual Junior Solheim Cup at the Bridgewater Club in Carmel, Indiana from Sept. 5-7.
Krog, a native of Leir, Norway, was the 2003 Norwegian Women's Champion and a member of the Norwegian National Team that competed in the World Amateur Championship in Puerto Rico in October. She finished in second place (lost in a play-off) in the 2004 Hellenic Open in Greece and won twice this past summer on the Norwegian P4 Tour. In 2003, Krog finished third in the European Championship and fourth in the European Young Masters.
Lene is a wonderful golfer," said Head Coach Kevin Williams. "She made qualifying for this team her number one priority this summer and she finished fourth. This experience will give her some big-time exposure as well as our program."
The Junior Solheim Cup pits the top 12 European and top 12 United States Junior golfers against one another in a team format. Pirate fans can follow all the action online by logging on to www.ajga.org.
The Lady Pirates will kick off the 2005 season Sunday, Sept. 18 when they travel to Tuscaloosa, Ala. to participate in the UA/Ann Rhoads Intercollegiate at the Old Colony Golf Club.
