There wasn’t any reason to change a good thing atop the All-Louisiana women’s golf team.
For the third consecutive season the LSWA has honored LSU’s duo of Ingrid Lindblad and head coach Garrett Runion with its top two honors on the 2022 team.
Lindblad, the two-time SEC Player of the Year and the SEC individual champion, was named the state’s player of the year for the third straight year. Runion, who led the Tigers to back-to-back NCAA Championships and the school’s first SEC Women’s Golf Championship in 30 years, was named the state’s top coach.

Carla Tejedo was also named to the five-person first team that was announced based on voting from nominations submitted by the school media relations offices in the state that play the sport. In the voting, schools could not vote for players from their respective schools.
Lindblad averaged 70.38 for the 2021-22 golf season at LSU with 25 rounds of par or under. She posted five wins, including the 2022 SEC Championship with a final round of 6-under 66. She tied for second in the Augusta National Women’s Amateur with a final round 68 and third for third in the NCAA Championships.
Tejedo averaged 72.52, improving her scoring average one full stroke from her freshman to sophomore season. The SEC second team selection and Golfweek HM All-America won her first collegiate tournament at the Jackson T. Stephens Cup and finished tied for fourth in the NCAA Regional. She posted her second consecutive Top 25 finish in the NCAA Championships in Scottsdale.
Runion, in his fourth season, guided LSU through 108 holes in five days to get the Tigers a conference championship, 54 holes of stroke play and then 54 holes of match play. The Tigers were 11th in the national championships.
