At 10am this Sunday morning, it did not look good for the final round of the Tar Heel Classic. Steady snow early in the morning threatened to cancel the round, but the weather changed and it turned out to be a great day for golf! We can say we experienced all four seasons in one day!
Winning the Bell Series today in a playoff on the first sudden death hole was Caroline Curtis (Richmond, VA 2019). Curtis came back from behind after shooting a fantastic 3-under 69 to tie the leader Caroline Wrigley (Wexford, PA 2019) at a 145 total for 36 holes. The title was decided when Curtis lagged a long put close to the hole to secure her par on 18 and a PKBGT victory! Placing third was Emily Hawkins (Lexington, VA 2018) with rounds of 72-74-146. In fourth was Rebecca DiNunzio (Norfolk, VA 2019) by one stroke with 75-72-147. In fifth place was Lauren Freyvogel (Gibsonia, PA 2019) with rounds of 74-75-149.
