111th Women's Western Golf Association National Amateur Championship

From June 20 to 25 Sawgrass  hosted the WWGA's National Amateur Championship. Women came from all over the United States as well as Argentina, Canada, Germany, Japan, The Philippines, Puerto Rico, South Korea, Sri Lanka and Trinidad & Tobago. After two days of qualifying rounds, the women were placed into a  Championship Flight of 64 contestants and five additional Flights. They played on an East - West rotation of 6181 yards and a par of 71, as #2 West was altered to a par 4.  The co-medalists of the qualifying rounds were Madison Pressel and Victoria Tanco who each posted a round of 66, a competitive course record. The final round saw Victoria Tanco defeat Emma Lavy to become the Champion. As an aside, Victoria's caddie was on the bag for Angel Cabrera when he won The Masters Tournament in 2009.

It was an amazing event to enjoy at our prestigious club. I hope you all were able to get out to see how well they played our course! Thanks to all of our members who assisted in making this event run so smoothly. Special thanks to Paula Fairley who was the event coordinator.
