- Sophia Dyer Emerges as 95th Women’s Golf Amateur Champion in Dramatic Fashion
Sophia Dyer emerged as the 95th Women’s Amateur Champion in dramatic fashion. The Team Florida member found herself in a seemingly insurmountable hole, in which escaping appeared unlikely. Dyer started the championship match against One Kashima and things were not exactly going as planned for Dyer. Kashima drilled a birdie putt into the center of the cup on the sixth hole to go four up on Dyer and then stepped up to the tee of the seventh hole, a par 3, and stuck it to about 7 feet. Despite the circumstances, Dyer calmly teed her ball up next and took a few smooth practice swings before winding back and striking her ball to about four feet. She sank her birdie putt while Kashima made a par, and slowly Dyer began to chisel away at the lead Kashima had over her. Fast forward to another win on the 12th hole for Dyer and the pair were tied for the first time. Suddenly, we had a match on our hands and the trophy could belong to either one of these two talented players. However, it was on the 16th hole where Dyer took the lead for the first time with only two holes left to play. The pair each made par on the 17th and headed to the last hole with Dyer one up on Kashima. A birdie on the final hole sealed the deal for Dyer as she went from a four-hole deficit to defeating her opponent two up. It was a win for the FSGA history books, and Dyer described it as, “Without a doubt, one of my most memorable wins. It made it even more special that I started out 4 down through 6, but I feel like I proved to myself and everyone else how strong I am mentally. All the work that I have put in with my mental coach has really paid off.” Dyer further explained, “It’s all about staying in the process and just staying patient.” A memorable win was only fitting for the 95th Women’s Amateur Championship. It was a special year for the tournament and such a treat to have the Bear’s Club host. Dyer explained how it felt to compete at the Bear’s Club, “It was really special. I mean, that course is just unbelievable and it was so fun. It was really a test for everyone’s game in every way. We’re all just really lucky to play on a course of that caliber.” Dyer even stated, “All throughout the practice round I just kept saying over and over, gosh I love this tournament.” With this win, Dyer also earned an exemption into the U.S. Women’s Amateur Championship which takes place in August at Southern Hills Country Club in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Dyer competed last year in the U.S. Women’s Amateur at Bel-Air Country Club and she missed the cut by one stroke. She said, “It was amazing playing the U.S. Women’s Am last year. Even though I missed by one, it really fueled me to want it even more this year and now I am really excited to go back.” Dyer explains that playing in FSGA events has helped her to feel comfortable on the national stage. “All the Florida players are so lucky to play for the FSGA. The competition is so elite and all the tournaments are so well run that it helps me to feel comfortable moving up because I feel so prepared.” Yet, the U.S. Women’s Amateur championship will not be Dyer’s only USGA appearance for the 2024 season. The St. Petersburg native qualified for the U.S. Girls’ Junior the day after winning the Women’s Amateur. She described that she was still on a mental high from her win, but physically she was exhausted. It was a challenging 18 holes, but she pulled through to secure a spot in her second USGA championship for the season. Dyer explained that she had her best friend and fellow Team Florida member, Bella Dovhey, caddying for her at the qualifier which helped her get through the round. Dyer earned a spot on Team Florida for the second consecutive year. Team Florida is an awards program that identifies the top 40 junior golfers from around the state. The competitors that make up this team not only show a remarkable talent for golf, but demonstrate outstanding sportsmanship and etiquette for the game. Dyer spoke about her time as a Team Florida member, “I love it. Some of my best friends are on that team and we really just feel like a family. It’s great to have that group around at all the tournaments. We’re just treated so well on the team and it’s so awesome to be a part of.” It is rewarding to see the members of Team Florida helping each other out at tournaments and cheering one another on even though they still compete with and against each other. The FSGA obviously provides many competitions for players at each level of journey, however it is the community aspect that is sometimes hard to achieve when competing. Yet, amongst other things, Team Florida helps to bridge the gap. Dyer said, “Bella and I were just having fun at the Girls’ Junior qualifier. She kind of distracted me which allowed me to just play golf.” Dyer, who started playing at 8 years old, explains that she comes from a golfing family. Her older brother, Blake, played at the University of Florida following in the footsteps of their father who also played golf at the University of Florida. Her parents were with her during the Women’s Amateur and had the pleasure of watching her capture the win on Father’s Day. Dyer said, “It was all so amazing. My dad is my number one fan and it was just so special to get the win for him on Father’s Day.” It certainly was a remarkable victory, perfectly befitting for the 95th year of the illustrious championship. Golf is such a unique sport where one of the greatest challenges lies in balancing the precision of control with the unpredictable nature of the game. Dyer understands the challenge as she left with these parting words about her victory and the game of golf, “Golf is just such a hard sport. You can’t force anything. And you really just have to stay in your process and control the things you can control. Then, whatever happens over that ball, you just have to accept it because you can’t control it if you make a good swing, or get a bad bounce. It really is just about accepting what happens and then deciding what you can do next.” By ML Staff. Content/Image courtesy of FSGA
- Meet Marcus Lynch, USST High Performance Director
US Sailing welcomed Marcus Lynch in January 2024 as the US Sailing Team’s High Performance Director. He’s tasked with leading the US Sailing Team and all its associated high‐performance programs, including the US Olympic Sailing Team, the Pan American Sailing Team, and the Olympic Development Sailing Program. And with only six months in the role before his first Olympics with Team USA, we sat down with Marcus to learn more about what drew him here after his experience with the British and German programs and what his vision is for Paris and Los Angeles. Watch the interview video Transcribed interview: What is your personal sailing background? I got into sailing at a young age in lots of different boats back home in the UK. I sort of funneled that energy and fun into the laser radial for my youth sailing before transitioning into multihulls as I got older. What is your professional sailing background? Some really fond memories from my career so far… I’ll probably start with securing two bronze medals, one in London one in Rio, with the British Sailing Team and the Paralympic sailors. Then moving on to a fantastic journey with the Nacra sailors in Germany to secure a bronze medal in the Tokyo Games. Completely out of the Olympic world, I had a fantastic experience working with the Extreme Sailing Series Team Oman Air and then recently before joining the US Sailing Team was privileged enough to spend a few regattas coaching with the Canadian SailGP Team. Why the American Team? I’m really excited to have joined the US Sailing Team in my role, I see a huge amount of potential with the athletes that are currently involved. I’m also very excited to be involved a home Olympic Games having experienced that for London 2012 with the British team. What is your vision for the Team? So my vision for the Team is to create a culture which breeds professionalism, fun, collaboration in sailors- that they’re intrigued to learn more and leave no stone unturned in the pursuit of performance. And if all those things can come together that we end up getting the results that the sailors deserve and that the Team is striving to achieve. You’re coming into the Team very late in the cycle- what is your plan for Paris? It’s challenging parachuting into the team so late in this Olympic cycle but I have a goal and a vision that I can add value to each of the athletes’ performances through the Olympics. I aim to do that by creating an environment where they can focus on their daily goals, they can focus on their processes, and they don’t have to worry about anything else. I think that we’ve got a wide range of experience on Team USA that will be competing in Paris this summer. We’ve got some first time Olympic athletes and some having another bite of the cherry. I’m really excited to see if we can maximize their potential and see them fulfill their dreams this summer. What’s your outlook on Los Angeles 2028? I think having a home Games in LA is a really exciting opportunity and I think that over the next four years we have a fantastic environment within which we have to explore, we have to learn. We’re looking to build depth of talent across our sailing team through the different disciplines- I see a group of athletes with a huge amount of potential and I see a home Games in a couple of years time which is something that I’m really excited about having experienced the Paralympics in London and being part of the British Sailing Team in 2012. I’ve seen that getting the local community and getting the nation behind you is a really motivating thing. What is your favorite non-Olympic boat? The 18 foot skiff. I’ve had a few experiences in that class over my time in the sport and a very good mix between swimming and sailing. What is your order at a French bakery? A mix of pain au chocolat, croissants, and café crème. If you weren’t working in sailing professionally, what would you be doing? If I wasn’t working in the marine industry in sailing, I think that I probably would have chosen a career in carpentry or something creative like that. Something completely different. What do you do in your free time? My favorite thing to do in my free time is spend time with my family. I have my wife, Kirsty, my eldest daughter, Cara, and my youngest daughter, Skye. And a cat called – it’s debatable – the children call him Claws, we adopted him, I call him Jeff. But I try to educate my children in the ways of the world of sailing to various degrees of success. Do you have a motto? I heard a long time ago someone say “If not now, then when? And if not you, then who?” and it’s something that’s stuck with me and contributed towards my work ethic and my approach to daily life. Closing thoughts? The Olympics is around the corner, I’m very much looking forward to it and I hope all of you in the USA are, too. I have one request which is that you cheer so loud that we can hear you from France.

- USTA Florida Presenting Sponsor for ATA 3rd Annual ACE Awards and Gala
USTA Florida is proudly the presenting sponsor of the ATA 3rd Annual ACE Awards and Gala. This event will take place on Thursday, July 18th, at the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts. The evening promises to be a memorable celebration, with a cocktail reception followed by a dinner and award ceremony, highlighting significant figures and organizations in the tennis community. The American Tennis Association was founded back in 1916 and has been living out its mission to promote tennis to Black communities around the world, while also encouraging people of all backgrounds to get involved. The ATA was founded in 1916 and has been serving the Black community and welcoming all to tennis. “The ATA is so important to the tennis community, especially in Florida, because for many years blacks and other minorities weren’t accepted into the mainstream of tennis” George Henry, a member of the USTA Florida AMPLIFY Project team said. “The ATA also serves as a venue for many players to hone and develop their skills to compete at a high level.” The ATA has been a beacon of opportunity and growth for minority players, providing a platform for excellence and inclusion. The 2024 ATA ACE Awards are a hallmark of recognition within the tennis community, celebrating individuals and organizations that have made significant strides in promoting inclusivity and equality in tennis. The awards highlight those who have effectively leveraged the diverse attributes of tennis to host a more inclusive environment within the sport. One award being presented is the President’s Partnership Recognition Award, which honors a person or organization that has demonstrated exemplary dedication, collaboration, and outstanding contributions to fostering partnerships and driving impactful initiatives within the tennis community. The ATA impacts the lives of many players throughout the world. For USTA Florida, being the presenting sponsor of this event is rooted in the relationship between the two organizations who share similar goals to promote tennis for all. “We decided to be a presenting sponsor because for several years the ATA has made its home for the National Tournament here in Florida,” Henry said. “USTA Florida is proud to support the ATA’s mission of promoting inclusivity and equality in tennis.” This sponsorship not only celebrates the achievements of the past but also looks forward to a future where tennis continues to break barriers and foster a sense of community and equality. The 2024 ATA National Championships are set to take place July 22 – 28 at the USTA National Campus in Lake Nona. There are five major tennis events with players ranging from under 10 all the way to over 80 years old. The ATA Championships draw players from all over North America and the Caribbean. The ATA’s role in the tennis world cannot be overstated. For decades, the ATA has been at the forefront of promoting diversity and providing opportunities for players of all backgrounds. Their work ensures that the sport of tennis remains a vibrant and inclusive community where everyone has the chance to shine. The ATA National Championships will be held at the USTA National Campus. The 2024 ATA ACE Awards and Gala is more than just an event; it is a celebration of progress, dedication, and the unyielding spirit of inclusivity.

- Institute of Contemporary Art Miami Presents: Anne Collier
ICA Miami presents a newly commissioned work by Anne Collier in the museum’s central stairwell. This is the first site-responsive wallpaper by the artist, and her first major presentation in Miami. In her photographic work that combines staged and often appropriated images, Collier examines mechanisms of representation, circulation, and objecthood of images. Critically reflecting on the representation of women in mass media, her analog photographs feature found imagery, including posters, records, and comic strips from the 1950s and 1960s. Juxtaposing a sober, near-forensic approach to image-making with the charged gender dynamics of the found images she appropriates, Collier frames the apparatus of the camera as both an instrument of domination and emancipation. Anne Collier (b. 1970, Los Angeles) has exhibited her work widely internationally in solo and group presentations. Recent survey exhibitions include Lismore Castle, Waterford, Ireland (2023); Sprengel Museum, Hannover, Germany (2018), which traveled to Fotomuseum Winterthur, Switzerland (2019); and a major survey at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, which traveled to the Hessel Museum of Art, Annandale-on-Hudson, New York (both 2014), the Aspen Museum of Art (2015), and the Art Gallery of Ontario, Toronto (2016); among many others. Collier’s work is part of numerous museum collections worldwide, including the Art Institute of Chicago; Los Angeles County Museum of Art; Moderna Museet, Stockholm; Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago; Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; Museum of Modern Art, New York; Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York; and Tate Modern, London. The artist lives and works in New York City. By ML Staff. Courtesy of Institute of Contemporary Art Miami
