Elle Johnson

 

Placida, Fla. – Elle Johnson fires a course record round of 65 to claim victory at the Women’s Amateur Stroke Play Championship at Coral Creek Club. Coral Creek Club served as the perfect host for the Women's Amateur Stoke Play Championship with world class conditions from tee to green. The course offered an array of challenges from the rough, to the greens, proving an excellent test to crown a champion. 

Johnson, a current student and member of the Florida State University women’s golf team, started the final round six shots off the lead but quickly dwindled the gap down after a spectacular front nine, 5-under,31. Johnson's front nine consisted of five birdies and four pars. Johnson continued her spectacular play from the front nine with two more birdies and one lone bogie on the difficult 18th hole. Johnson's 65 was a course record round out at Coral Creek Club for women.

Jillian Bourdage took second place after her third round 3-under par, 68 which moved her up two spots up the leaderboard. Bourdage, a current member of the Ohio State University women’s golf program carded four birdies and one bogey on her way to claim second place.  

Jordan Fischer and Lauren Clark finished the final round in a tie for third place. Fischer’s championship consisted of rounds of (69-69-74), and Clarks championship rounds included scores of (70-73-69), both finishing with a total of 212.

Defending Champion

Just three weeks after finishing runner-up at the Women’s Amateur, Elle Nachmann came out on top at the Women’s Amateur Stroke Play Championship. Nachmann captured the one-shot victory on Sunday at The Amelia Island Club at Long Point, finishing the weekend at 2-under 214. Nachmann began the final round with a four-shot lead, after firing a 4-under 68 on Saturday to take the 36-hole lead, finishing the day with six birdies. The Boca Raton native rolled in a birdie putt on the 16th to extend her lead and secure the championship with a final-round 76. This is the fourth FSGA championship for Nachmann and her first individual FSGA win.
