2008 Final Round Results
Sumter, SC --- 82nd Women's Amateur Championship of the Women's Carolinas Golf Association
hosted by Sunset Country Club on Thursday, May 22, 2008.  Par 35-36--71, 5816 yards.
The wind at Sunset Country Club died down today
and so did the scores.  20-year-old Abby Bools of
Hickory, NC shot a 4-under par 67 to win the 82nd
Women's Carolinas Amateur championship over
defending champion Patty Moore of Charlotte, NC.  
Moore found herself two shots back of the lead
heading into the final round but after carding four
birdies on the front nine she came within one-shot
of the lead.  Bools knew she would not be able to
loose her focus on the back nine.  "I have actually
been fighting my swing a little bit,"  Bools said.  
"Thank goodness that my chipping and putting was
there to save me."  Moore and Bools were shot for
shot until the 11th where Moore's approach shot
was left of the green and she failed to get up and
down for par.  Bools went on to make a par and she
again had a two-shot lead.  Both Bools and Moore
matched birdies on the reachable par 5 12th hole.  
Bools kept her composure hitting perfect shot after
shot and finished with a birdie on the closing hole to
win by three-strokes over Moore.  "I didn't let my
Mom walk around with me all week.  Today she
walked around with me and it was the best I played
all week.  Next time, I think I will let her walk
around with me more often."  Moore did capture
the Senior division for a second year in a row.  
Players were placed into flights for the final round
within their respective divisions.  The Carolinas
Tees plays a shorter course.
