#EzRepost @becauseofthem with @ezrepostapp At only 8-years-old, Lauryn Olivia Leonard is already dreaming big and blazing her own trail on the golf course! Over the weekend, Lauryn competed in the Drive, Chip, and Putt Championship, which is an annual event held for young aspiring golfers the Sunday before the Masters Tournament. The little golf sensation earned the chance to compete in the championship when she won the regional level of the competition back in 2015, making her one of 10 girls in the country ages 7-9, to receive an invitation to the national finals held at the Augusta National Golf Club. In fact, this is the same golf club where Lee Elder broke the color barrier in 1975, when he became the first African American to play in the Masters. Incidentally, Condoleezza Rice was one of its first women members. Lauryn, we salute you and thank you for showing young girls that look like you, that they too can pursue and excel in the sport of golf. #becauseofthemwecan #blackgirlmagic #RespecttheQueen
