“Looking at the leaderboards and noticing that several players were 4 under going into the back stretch I had a pretty good idea it was going to be a tight race,” said Jones, who sank a birdie putt on 14 to take the outright lead and then parred her way in to hold onto the championship. “There was some pretty good playing out there today,” she added.
Jones mentioned struggling with her irons in the first round but righted the ship after a tip from fellow Legend Val Skinner on the range long after play had finished for the day. “She got me thinking about something and it clicked in today,” said Jones, who fired a bogey-free final round 68.
A two-day total for attendance was reported by tournament officials to be between 6,000 and 8,000. Sun City West Recreation Centers boasts a community of approximately 28,000 in the immediate area. “It was a terrific turn-out and it’s always great to see the fans in this area,” added Jones, “To come back and play here is really a treat.”
