Most memorable Golf Moment:  Actually it was the worst moment for me 2 years ago at states. I was a few over par, playing well and I went double bogey, bogey, triple bogey to shoot an 81 and come in 5th. It just killed me knowing how well I could have played. It was a good learning experience, but one I don't want to repeat.

Future Plans: Finish strong my last two years in high school and then I'd like to play golf in college. When asked if she thought she might play on the LPGA, Laura said she did not think so, "those ladies are so good."
