Brown takes title at Heritage Hill

SHEPERDVILLE, Ky. – Macie Brown fired rounds of 75-75—150 to come out of the Girls 14-and-Under division and win the girls overall title at Heritage Hill Golf Club.

Brown’s final round consisted of birdies at Nos. 8 and 16 as she ran away from the field in her division and beating Kirsty Mitchell by two shots for the overall.

Just as in the final round, Brown posted two birdies against five bogeys in the opening round, staking her to an 8-shot lead over Anna Coccia. Brown’s steady play in the final round enabled her to increase her lead and eventually win the 14-and-under division by 16 shots.

Coccia finished at 83-83—166 for sole possession of second place while Abigail Sutherland finished alone in third at 92-80—172.

Mitchell claims Girls 15-19 title

Kirsty Mitchell posted rounds of 76-76—152 in pulling out a 3-shot victory over Grace Mitchell in the Girls 15-19 division at Heritage Hill.

The victory was Kirsty’s first in the GJT 15-19 division in five appearances this season and her first overall since she won at Rio Pinar in January of 2017.

Kirsty led Grace by one shot entering the final round then quickly turned that into a 5-shot lead with a birdie at the first hole. With Grace pulling things together after a disastrous triple bogey start, she managed to close the gap to two with three holes to play, but Kirsty’s birdie at the 16th put too much distance between them at that point.

Grace finished alone in second with rounds of 77-78—155 while Katelyn Kuc made a strong charge the final day to finish alone in third at 83-73—156.
