Taffy and Alexa started strong winning the first three holes, but veteran partners Mary Hanyak and Marianne Springer kept battling back but could never capture the lead. Alexa Hammer, the 14 year old with the silky putting stroke and great wedge play, proved to be a great asset to her seasoned partner, Taffy Brower. Alexa will certainly be a young gun to watch as she continues to grow into her swing. Final Results Taffy Brower & Alexa Hammer, def. Mary Hanyak & Marianne Springer 3 & 2
