Episode Description
This week's guest is Lillian Guleserian, the 2026 New England Women's Amateur champion and Penn State freshman, fresh off her comeback win at Concord Country Club. Lillian breaks down the dramatic back nine of the final round, rallying from four shots back.
The conversation covers her game, her freshman year playing college golf at Penn State, and how the pressure of team qualifying rounds has made her a more resilient competitor. She also talks candidly about why she refuses to watch leaderboards mid-round, the recovery routines (sauna, cold tubs, float beds) she's picked up from Penn State's athletic facilities, and her advice for junior golfers navigating the college recruiting process.
Lillian also reflects on her roots at Ponkapoag Golf Course, her longtime coach Julie Cole, and how she's prepping for the Ouimet Memorial, Women's Mass Am, and her upcoming sophomore season at Penn State.
