On Saturday-Sunday, April 2-3 the PKBGT will host the Boar’s Head Inn Classic at the Birdwood Golf Course at UVA. Birdwood, home to the University of Virginia women’s golf team, is an classic course with tricky, undulating greens and a wonderful host for this two-day tournament. The tournament features a field of 58 players from nine different states.
Leading the Bell Series are Riley Smyth (Cary, NC2018) with an opening round 74. Close behind by three strokes are Lauren Freyvogel (Gibsonia, PA 2019) and Caroline Curtis (Richmond, VA 2019) at 77.
Leading the Futures Series in a three-way tie for first are Jessica Thornton (Virginia Beach, VA 2017), Grace Huffman (Lexington, VA 2018) and Elizabeth Coffren (Owings, MD 2020) each with an opening round 82. We look forward to an exciting finish in each series!
Awards will be presented to the top-five finishers in both series at the completion of play on Sunday, April 3rd. We look forward to another great PKBGT event and welcome all of our new players and PKB families!
