The event featured the top girl golfers on the east coast including Ohio and a few players from other countries.<\/p>\n<p>The event included the tour\u2019s top 60 players who earned their invite into the event through the tour\u2019s Order of Merit rankings. Nearly 60 girls competed in the event.<\/p>\n<p>At the events close, Lucia Polo of Guatemala (currently residing in Greensboro, NC ) took home the prestigious title leading wire to wire with scores of 70 \u2013 72 \u2013 142 for an even par performance. The win was Polo\u2019s second on tour after she earned her way into the event through a win at the PKB tour\u2019s last open qualifier at Chapel Ridge GC.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have been working about 25 hours a week on my game and I stuck to my game plan of playing the golf course and not the players this week. My focus on the task and not the field really helped me stay in the moment rather than thinking about where I stood in the tournament,\u201dstated Polo after her round.<\/p>\n<p>Although, Polo delivered a spectacular performance, Shannon Brooks of Vienna, VA proved to everybody that at a young age, she can play with the best. Brooks nearly one a PKB event in Virginia this fall, but was edged out by Order of Merit Champion Bryana Nguyen and proved again this event that she is poised to be a great champion. It certainly looks like a big win could be in her near future. Brooks posted scores of 72-73 \u2013 145 for the event.<\/p>\n<p>Following the two was third place, Jessica Porvasnik of Hinckley, Ohio (74 \u2013 77 \u2013151),fourth place, Victoria Allred of Pfafftown, NC (75 \u2013 77 \u2013 152) and a four way tie for fifth place at 154 with Lyberty Anderson of Chesterfield, VA, Tara Simmons of Goldsboro, NC, Madison Moosa of Charlotte, NC, and Kelsey Badmaev of Blythewood, SC.<\/p>\n<p>The tour would like to thank all the girls and parents for another great year! We look forward to seeing you all next year !!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.shotstat.com\/TournamentScoring\/Scoreboard.aspx?TID=285\">Final Results<\/a><\/p>\n<table width=\"680\" align=\"center\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"120\" valign=\"top\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.stoneycreekgolf.com\/\" target=\"new\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/tygf.org\/courses\/stoneycreek.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Stoney Creek GC\" width=\"100\" height=\"120\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\"><strong>November 12 &amp; 13 (Sat-Sun)<\/strong> <strong>2011 PKBGT Invitational<\/strong> <em>presented by Triad Youth Golf Foundation<\/em> @ Stoney Creek GC<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\"><a href=\"http:\/\/tygf.org\/girlstour\/2011\/11event25_info.pdf\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/tygf.org\/icons\/icon_info.png\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Information\" width=\"30\" height=\"30\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\"><a href=\"http:\/\/tygf.org\/girlstour\/yardages\/stoneycreek.pdf\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/tygf.org\/icons\/icon_yardages.png\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Yardages\" width=\"30\" height=\"30\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\"><a href=\"http:\/\/tygf.org\/girlstour\/2011\/11event25_field.pdf\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/tygf.org\/icons\/icon_field.png\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Field\" width=\"30\" height=\"30\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.shotstat.com\/TournamentScoring\/Scoreboard.aspx?TID=285\"><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PKBGT Fall Invitational shows offer girls\u2019 golf talent Lucia Polo captures title by 3 shots!
