Samantha Kellstrom is Lady Golfer of the Year
The Tour’s youngest member just became the Tour’s youngest winner ever after Samantha Kellstrom took the 2011 Indigo Salon & Spa Ladies Open on Sunday at Pheasant Run Golf Club. Samantha shot a 31-34 – 65 from a career best gross 87. The 65 sets a new record low score at the Ladies Open beating DeVonne Mowry’s 5-under 66 at Blackheath in 2007. A few months shy of her 13th birthday, Samantha is also the youngest winner on Tour – 4 years younger than Young Tom Litzler when he won the 2005 Memorial Tournament at age 17.
Perennial favorite Mowry (38-40 – 78) tied for 2nd in what may be her final Ladies Open appearance as her career path will take her out of Michigan for a few years. Mother-to-be Sharon Prew (40-38 – 78) finished strong in the 95 degree heat and recorded her best finish on Tour. Johanna Lewis (43-39 – 82) also posted her first ever top-4.
