** More on Sarah's big win at the 2009 Vibram Open in Leicester, MA. Way to go, Sarah!
From www.PDGA.com ...
"Perhaps the surprise of the tournament was Sarah Jean S’s convincing win in the Women’s division. Sarah Jean, originally a Rhode Island native but now living in South Carolina, had her parents on hand caddying for her on Sunday and rose to the occasion with another strong round, and well above her 947 rating. Despite a disc in the pond on her opening drive and a circle 6 on hole#1, she never lost her composure and played smart and consistent golf to finish with a whopping 9 throw victory over three time PDGA World Champion Val Jenkins, who was unable to record a birdie during her round and just could not apply any pressure to her opponent. For her performance, Sarah took home a $1500 paycheck, which more than doubled her 2009 PDGA tour earnings."
Course ranges from par-3 15th of 255 feet to the par-4 12th at 770 feet and the par-4 1st at 805 feet.
