FIFTEEN-YEAR OLD AMATEUR TANYA WADHWA SHOOTS A
FINAL ROUND 67 TO CAPTURE THE TEXAS WOMEN’S OPEN BY ONE

Fifteen-year old amateur Tanya Wadhwa of McKinney, Texas fired a three-under par round of 67 to win the Texas Women’s Open by one shot.  Tanya began the day two shots behind leaders Jennifer Park and Marilyn Hardy; however she quickly made up those shots on her front nine with birdies on holes three and five.  The back nine proved even better for the young amateur with three birdies, one of which was on number eighteen to claim the Championship.  Adrienne McDonald of The Golf Channel’s Big Break Ka’anapali was the low professional, finishing in second place for the overall Championship and taking home a check for $2,000.00.  Defending champion, Shannon Fish, shot the low round of the tournament, 66, to finish at one-over par to claim second place amateur honors while also finishing third overall.  Anna Schultz of Rockwall, Texas finished in a tie with Carrie Morris of Tyler, Texas for third place amateur honors.  Schultz shot a final round 69 to Morris’s 71 to claim third place amateur honors.
