Glen Allen, VA – The Peggy Kirk Bell Girls Golf Tour opened up its first fall preview event today at Hunting Hawk GC. The courses only defense was a white flag after young golfing phenom, Lyberty Anderson, of Chesterfield, Virginia posted a 5 under 66! “I hit the ball great today and had a ton of ten foot birdie putts. I only converted a few of them but it was enough to give me my lowest tournament score ever, stated Anderson after her round. So that’s pretty awesome!” The round was awesome indeed as Anderson proved she was ready to move forward after missing a golden opportunity to capture the 2010 PKB Order of Merit in the PKB’s last major at Bryan Park GC last month. Anderson’s performance included 16 greens, 8 birdies, and only one blemish. Her back to back nines of 33 made quite a first round impression as she looks to capture her first PKB Title of the Fall Preview season. Her 66 puts her seven shots clear of the field going into tomorrow’s round, but the talent behind her is still certainly in her rear view as it includes the likes of Bryana Nguyen of Columbia, MD at 73, Karishma Thiagaraj of Hay Market, VA at 73, and Alex Wright of Midlothian, Va and Khushboo Thiagaraj of Hay Market, VA at 75.
