Jamieson earns playoff win at UK Club


LEXINGTON, Ky. - Kristin Jamieson made back-to-back birdies in a playoff to defeat Panchalika Arphamongkol in the Girls 15-19 division at the University of Kentucky Golf Course.

The event was shortened to 18 holes due to snow and ice with Jamieson and Arphamongkol both firing 76.

In the first playoff hole, Jamieson rolled in a 20-footer for birdie that Arphamongkol matched. She earned victory at the next hole by sinking a 12-footer for birdie.

Playing the front nine of the UK Club twice, Jamieson finished with a birdie on her final hole to get into the playoff. Arphamongkol, who played her first 13 holes in 1-under-par, could have clinched the event with a par at the last but made bogey.

With the victory, Jamieson earned an exemption into the IMG Junior World Championships in San Diego.

Morgan Pankow shot 77 to finish alone in third place while Maggie Schaffer finished fourth with a 79.
