SEBRING, Fla. (Jan. 6, 2008)-- Trailing by a stroke heading into the final round of the Harder Hall Invitational, Alison Walshe sprung at precisely the right time, firing her second-straight 68 to finish at 281, three strokes better than second place finisher Taylore Karle, who entered the day with a one-stroke lead.
Walshe, a native of Galway, Ireland who attended Westford Academy in Massachusetts and is currently a senior at the University of Arizona is one of the top collegiate golfers in the country, with a solid chance of joining the U.S. squad in Scotland for the Curtis Cup.
Taking third place was two-time amateurgolf.com - Bridgestone Golf Player Rankings champ Stacy Lewis of The Woodlands.
