Media Interns

Morgan Keim-Wolfe 


I am from Mankato, Minnesota. I just wrapped up my last semester of college at Minnesota State University - Mankato. I am graduating in June with a major in Mass Media and a minor in Marketing. I am very excited to be extending my internship and staying on for the summer. I can’t wait to learn more about sports media through the STPGA! Sports are one of my biggest passions and what inspired me to do what I do. I hope to find a career that allows me to be involved with sports and create content to grow involvement and education in sports. 


Sutton James 


I am from Flower Mound, Texas and I recently graduated from Oklahoma State University with a B.S. in Sports Media and Communications. In the fall, I’ll be heading back to Stillwater to pursue a M.S. in Mass Communications with a sports emphasis. Prior to spending this summer with the STPGA, I spent three years of my undergrad interning for OSU’s Athletics Communications department as a Sports Information Director for the men’s tennis team as well working with the other teams. In my free time, I love to hang out with my mini GoldenDoodle, Bullet! 

Operations Interns

Paige Lemm


You could say golf is in my blood. I played on the high school golf team from the 7th – 12th grade and played college golf at Wallace State Community College. I am a senior at Sam Houston State University majoring in Communications. As much as I love the game, I have served many roles from pro shop attendant to golf instructor to golf operations.  


I was born in Benton, AR and didn’t slow down, moving several times. My parents both have spent a lifetime in different parts of the game, Dad building courses and Mom playing, teaching, and coaching as a 25-year PGA member. I am an extrovert that loves interacting with the juniors as well as the organization and process of operations. I love traveling, the beach and my two dogs. 


Lyla Vaughn


I have been a golfer for the majority of my life! Growing up outside of Austin, TX, I played on the golf team at Lago Vista High School and am a current member of the Texas Southern University Golf Team, majoring in business. Outside of work, you can find me on the golf course or hanging out with my teammates! 

Austin Epps


Howdy, I'm Austin and I'm a current student at Texas Tech University. Wreck 'Em! I am a Houston Native and outside of work you can find me cheering on my favorite team, the Houston Astros! At Texas Tech, I am majoring in marketing and have a minor in sports management. I am very outgoing and enjoy sports, being outside, and traveling. I plan to graduate next May and begin my career in the sports field. I enjoy playing golf and am excited about this internship!


Owen Roche


Hello, I'm Owen and I am a current graduate student at NYU studying sports business and coaching the ice hockey team. Although I currently live in NYC, I grew up in Washington and have a deep love for Texas, specifically Texas Christian University where I received my undergraduate degree in sports broadcasting and played club ice hockey! I recently started playing golf, which led me to apply for this internship. Outside of work you can find me cheering on the Seattle Mariners or the Buffalo Bills. I am excited about this summer and am looking forward to learning more about the operational side of golf.

J.T. Milner 


I am from Bandera, Texas. I earned my bachelor's degree in Sport Management with a minor in Business at Texas A&M University in December of 2020. Following the completion of my undergrad, I decided to remain an Aggie and pursue a graduate degree in Sport Management and currently am in my last semester. Before coming to the STPGA I worked as a Student Assistant in the Facilities, Events and Construction department of Texas A&M Athletics. As my career as a sport professional continues, I hope to advance in the area of event management. In my free time I enjoy reading, watching movies, working out, attending music festivals/concerts, golfing, making sure my duties as a fantasy football league commissioner are being fulfilled and pretty much anything that involves having a good time with good people. I am excited to extend my internship through the summer and continue growing my  knowledge with the STPGA!
