MEADVILLE, Pa. -- Allegheny College senior
Josephine Corey (Lakewood, N.Y./Southwestern Central) won a four-hole playoff on Sunday to earn medalist honors at PennWest Edinboro's Fighting Scot Spring Invitational at the Country Club of Meadville.
Playing against a field of all Division II opponents on Allegheny's home course, Corey finished Saturday's opening round in a two-way tie for first place with Kennady Norton of PennWest Clarion. Both golfers carded an 86 (+14) over the first 18 holes. On Sunday, Norton fell out of the lead, but teammate McKayla Kerle climbed up from a three-stroke deficit and matched Corey's two-day total of 170 (+26).
The tournament title was then decided in a playoff. Corey and Kerle parred the par-4, 317-yard 10th and the par-5, 456-yard ninth. On the par-4, 315-yard 16th, both finished with a bogey. Although Corey's drive off the tee on the par-3, 201-yard 17th hit the green, and her second stroke left her just three feet away from par. Kerle chipped onto the green for her second shot, but missed her putt for par. Corey then sank her putt to capture the win.
