JESSICA WELCH WITH ANOTHER TOP 5
Jessica Welch has come on strong since the beginning of June. She finished in a tie for third at the Decatur-Forsyth Classic and now can add a career-best tie for second to her growing list of accomplishments.
Welch posted a 5-under, 67 to nearly find her way into a playoff.
“I felt really good today and I hit the ball really solid again,” said Welch. “While I’m a little disappointed that I couldn’t finish it out on 18, I’m definitely feeling confident going into the Open.”
Welch qualified for the U.S. Women’s Open in early June.
She moved from 45 to 27 on the new money list.
BERMINGHAM ACES HOLE 12 IN FINAL ROUND
Jennifer Bermingham (Long Beach, Calif.) made an ace on the 12th hole in the final-round of the Tullymore Classic and posted a 2-under, 70 to finish T43.It was the fifth ace of her career.
The funny part of the hole-in-one is that she almost used the wrong yardage. Fellow Tour professional
Kristin Coleman, who missed the cut, was on her bag on Sunday and saved the day.
“I had the wrong yardage and Kristin was like ‘that is not the front edge yardage’ so I switched clubs,” explained Bermingham. “I was originally going to hit a 7-iron and then I hit a 6-iron and made a hole-in-one.”
The ace came from 168 yards out.
“It landed right by the pin and rolled up the hill and nobody clapped for me, I thought that it was such a good shot and I couldn’t believe nobody clapped,” explained Bermingham because the hole is not visible from the tee box. “All of a sudden, my host mom, Lynne, screams so it was pretty awesome.”
