Tenn. Women's Open: 3 tied for lead
CROSSVILLE, Tenn. (July 19, 2013) -- Round 2 of The Golf Capital of Tennessee Women’s Open has come to a
close with three ladies tied for the lead at 145 (+1 over par). Round 1 leader, Corinna Rees shot a 75 to tie with
Haley Wilson and Jessica Alexander going into the third and final round. Even with these 3 ladies at the top of
the leaderboard, there are several just a stroke or two out of the lead. Round 3 should be a fun and competitive
battle.
At the close of Round 2, there was a cut to the low 60 and ties. The 36 hole totals of 160 and below will be back
out tomorrow to battle it out for the title of Women’s Open Champion.
In talking with Rees, she commented, “My putts just weren’t falling today. I had plenty of opportunities to score
like yesterday, but I just couldn’t execute.” She continued by saying, “Tomorrow is a new day, and I am looking
forward to playing the best I can.”
A little excitement joined us today as well as Jennifer Lucas of Knoxville, TN made her first ever Hole-In-One on
the 11th hole, 154 yard par 3.
The final round will be followed by the awarding of the trophy and prize purse. Also after the round, there will
be a trip for 2 to St. Louis and 2-$50 Omaha Steaks gift cards given away to anyone who enters. You must be
present to win.

5 years before moving to The Bear Trace at Cumberland Mountain in Crossville for 5 years, and 2013 marks the

The Women’s Open trophy is annually awarded to the champion. Donated by Jean St. Charles in 1999, the
trophy is in recognition all of the past Directors of the Women's Tennessee Golf Association. The WTGA was

fellowship and friendly competition among women golfers in Tennessee. In 2000, the Women’s Tennessee Golf
Association (WTGA) merged with the Tennessee Golf Association to create one governing body for golf in
