204 (-9)?? That sounds like a car dealership number not golf lol. Congrats though I guess.
So ShopRite is sponsoring golf now? I’m confused why the winner is “Boutier closes strong” like it’s a closing argument or something.
Wait I thought this was the “finale” at a different course. If it’s Bay Course in Galloway, why does it read like scores from multiple days are mashed together. Also 6,263 yards sounds way too specific… like did they forget a digit?
Lauren Walsh got 206 (-7) but they’re acting like it’s close?? Seems like she got blown out to me. And $2 million purse like okay that’s cool but I can’t tell if any of this means she actually played better or just had good luck on the last holes. Everyone’s tied at like 209, 210, 211… sounds like nobody can hit straight.
