Columbia, SC (9/30/09) – Final results of
the 11th Carolinas Women’s Senior Championship of the Carolinas Golf
Association hosted by Forest Lake Club in Columbia, SC on Wednesday,
September 30, 2009 (par 36-36-72, 5656 yards, Rating 73.1/127).
Pat Brogden of Garner, NC wins her first
Carolinas Senior Women's Amateur Championship in a 2-hole sudden death
playoff against defending champion Patty Moore of Charlotte, NC. Brogden
had a two stroke lead after the outward nine but after hitting her ball into
the bunker and failing to get up and down on the par-3 18th in regulation
she found herself tied with Moore.
Both players made par on the par-5 10th.
Brogden then made a six foot putt for par and the win on the 11th. "I knew
my position with Patty (Moore) all day. I played pretty steady for the most
part but I didn't putt that well," Brogden said. "I knew I had to make that
putt on 18 to win but it just didn't drop." Brogden now holds four CGA
Championship titles.
She won the North Carolina Women's Senior
Championship in 2007, the Carolinas Women's Amateur Match Play Championship
in 1999 and she was part of a team that won the Carolinas Women's Four-Ball
Championship back in 1991.
In the tournament tee division, Brenda
Bauer of Columbia, SC won by one stroke over Frankie Garber of Florence,
SC. These players play a shorter course. The Super Senior prize went to
Isabelle Daley of Whispering Pines, NC.
All players were placed into flights for
the final round.
