Juli Inkster’s 68 stole the show at the French Lick Resort’s Pete Dye course today in a closely contested final round that had Inkster, Laura Davies, Trish Johnson, Lorie Kane, Rosie Jones, and Pat Hurst in a close race to the finish in this biggest event in senior women’s golf in the United States.
Jan Stephenson won the “super legends” division carding a 1-under par 71 on Sunday on a French Lick course that played consistent with the expectations of a Pete Dye-designed golf course. Stephenson and JoAnne Carner were inducted into the Legends Tour Hall of Fame earlier in the week at the West Baden Springs Hotel. Legends Tour trailblazer Jane Blalock shot 77-77.
Noteworthy were the absences this week: Lopez, Sheehan, Steinhauer (whose 63 at last year’s event set the Legends Tour record low), Alcott, Daniel, and King were all absent. King has only competed sporadically on the senior circuit but the absence of these other greats at the premier tournament on the Legends schedule must have raised some eyebrows.
