Hailey Katona’s first time playing golf in Vermont was a memorable time.The Eastern Michigan grad student shot +10 in three rounds (223 gross total) to claim victory at the Vermont State Women’s Golf Association Amateur, her first tournament in Vermont.”It feels really good,” Katona said. “My first time playing in Vermont and playing in this tournament. So I’m really happy to get the win.”Opening up the tournament with a 70, Katona fought off a comeback by Ralph Myhre’s Morgan Lee, who led by one stroke heading into the back nine on the final day. Difficult conditions on the greens made the short game challenging and needed two birdies on 13 and 15 to comfortably put away the win.”My tee shots were really good,” Katona said. “I was able to put my ball on the green on every hole and make some really solid two-putts. These greens were really, really tough, so getting a two-putt is really solid.”
