What a great week at The Woodford Club!
Catriona Matthew and Becky Morgan slept on a one shot lead last night and turned it into a three-shot victory this afternoon as they bested a field of LPGA Legends in the inaugural Woodford Legends Invitational at The Woodford Club in Versailles, Ky. The pair combined for a two-day total of 26 under par in this unique two-person scramble featuring a field of 28 former LPGA Tour stars joined by 12 talented area women amateurs.
“I holed a lot of putts yesterday and it was Becky’s turn today,” said Matthew, as she and Morgan both captured their first title on the senior circuit with the win at Woodford. “Becky holed most of the putts today,” added Matthew, “Apart from the 9th green, the last green we played was the only one we missed over the two days, so we once again just combined really well together.”
Matthew and Morgan carded two eagles on the back nine on their way to posting their second 59 in two days and matching the winners of the amateur division, Laney Frye and Claira Beth Ramsey, who opened with a 61 and closed with the tournament low of 57.
