Former Illinois State golfer Stacey Miller will compete in the 2011 LPGA Futures Tour over the summer with the first tournament beginning this weekend. Miller will compete in Marion, Iowa, in the Ladies Titan Tire Challenge June 3-5 at the Hunters Ridge Golf Course.
During her career as a Redbird, Miller won four individual titles, including medalist honors at the 2009 Missouri Valley Conference Championships after shooting a 9-over par 225 (74-71-80). The Bloomington, Ill., native was also a three-time All-MVC selection and led the Redbirds to three Valley titles and three NCAA Regional appearances.
