GINGER HOWARD BLOWS HER VICTORY CHANCE
CANADIAN JUNEAU SCORES FIRST WIN
AS PROFESSIONAL DOWN FLORIDA WAY
Former US Junior Ryder Cup player Ginger Howard, the overnight leader, bogeyed the short 14th and double-bogeyed the par-4 15th to post a four-over 75 in her third round - and she was pipped for the $2,000 first prize on the SunCoast Series Lady Pro Tour event at West Orange County Club by Sara-Maude Juneau's 69, the best score by anyone in the tough conditions for the final round
It was the Canadian's first victory as a professional and a welcome change of luck for Sara-Maude (pictured right) after a disappointing season in 2013 as a rookie on the LPGA Tour where she missed more cuts than she made, having stepped up after a couple of seasons on the Symetra Tour.
In the tournament just finished, Sara-Maude scored 71-71-69 for two-under 211.
Howard shot 69, 68 and 75 for 216 and tied for second place with Sweden's Louise Friberg (70-69-73). The joint runners-up both earned $900.
Canada has players in first and fourth positions with 16-year-old world No 7 female amateur Brooke Mackenzie Henderson from Smith Falls near Ottawa, Ontario filling fourth place on her own with an aggregate of 213 (71-70-72).
The weather for the final day was cold by Florida winter standards and the chill factor was provided by a fresh wind.
