CHARLOTTESVILLE - Former University of Virginia star Leah Wigger is heading to the biggest stage in women's golf for the second year in a row.

The three-time All-American from 2004-07, now playing on the Duramed Futures Tour, tied for first during a 36-hole sectional qualifier for the U.S. Women's Open at Skokie Country Club in Glencoe, Ill.

She'll be making her second consecutive appearance in the U.S. Women's Open, being contested this year at Interlachen Country Club in Edina, Minn. The tournament will be held June 26-29.

Her appearance also will mark the third consecutive year a golfer from Virginia plays in the Open, and she'll be trying to become the first to make it to the weekend. Last year, she shot 82 and 75.

Jennie Arseneault made the field in 2006.
