Carol Semple Thompson, 46, of Sewickley, Pa., made a four-foot par putt on the last hole to shoot a 1-under-par 71 and lead Pennsylvania to a one-stroke victory at the USGA Centennial Women's State Team Tournament title at the Lake Buena Vista Club. "I was just trying to make par," said Thompson, one of six individual USGA champions in the field. "I had been making them all day." Thompson's 17-par, one-birdie performance, combined with a 77 from teammate Judy Oliver of Sewickley, enabled Pennsylvania to total 442 and hold off a late rally by Texas, which stormed from 10 shots back, led by a 68 from Toni Wiesner of Fort Worth, and an even-par 71 from Robin Burke of Houston, to fall just a stroke short. The host Florida team was led by a 1-over from Leslie Shannon of Fort Lauderdale and finished third, five strokes back in the 54-hole event where team totals were compiled from the best two of three scores. North Carolina (452) was fourth, followed by New York (455), Illinois (456) and South Carolina (456). "I played really solid for the first time in two years," said Wiesner, who tied Lancy Smith of Snyder, N.Y. for low individual honors at 3-over-par 219.

CARLTON WOODS – The two golf courses at Carlton Woods were designed by Tom Fazio and Jack Nicklaus. The original Nicklaus Course was opened in 2001, while the newer Fazio Course opened in 2005. SCHEDULE OF PLAY – The field of golfers will play 18 holes on each of three stroke play rounds Sept. 18-20 (Tuesday-Thursday). The two lowest scores from each three-person team constitute the team score for each round. The three-day total is the team’s score for the championship. ADMISSION IS FREE – The general public is invited to attend the championship. Both admission and parking are free of charge. ELIGIBILITY – The championships are open to female and male amateur golfers as selected by each state golf association or administrative body. At present, collegiate players are not eligible to compete in this championship. The NCAA rules state that a player may only play in an international team competition when that team is sponsored by the national governing body, such as the Curtis Cup Match (female), Walker Cup Match (male) or the World Amateur Team Championships. Any infraction of that rule means the collegiate player may be declared ineligible for the remainder of the season and the following season. |
