FASOLDT TAKES HER CONSECUTIVE TITLE IN CHALLENGE DIVISION
Susan Fasoldt ((Sarasota, Fl.) came into this week at Reunion Resort trying not to think about her title defense in the Challenge Division but rounds of 72-67-71 on the Palmer Course got the job done however it took a two-hole playoff to do it.
Fasoldt birdied the second hole of the playoff to edge first-round leader Charlaine Hirst (Pinehurst, NC.). Hirst tied Fasoldt with a 3-under par 69 for a three-day total of 6-under par 210.
“No it really wasn’t on my mind,” said Fasoldt. “I wasn’t trying to win; I thought that would be too much pressure.” She took home $6,000 for her victory.
