The soon-to-be Florida hall-of-famer adds another title to her illustrious career, edging the defending champ Lauren Greenlief
Stasi, who recently won the Ladies National Golf Association Mid-Amateur in April, began her final round tied with defending champion Lauren Greenlief of Ashburn, Va. and Megan Buck of North Easton, Mass. Despite a slow start from the entire group, Stasi shared the lead with Greenlief and Mariah Hopkins of Danville, Va. with nine holes to play.
On the par-3 17th, Greenlief made a costly double bogey. Stasi made her way to the par-4 18th with a comfortable three-shot lead. However, the 8-time Florida State Golf Association Player of the Year struggled coming home. She carded a closing triple-bogey (her only score worse than a bogey all week). Greenlief eyed a 20-foot bogey putt to send the championship into a sudden-death playoff. It burnt the edge, and Stasi’s 6-over-par 222 overall was enough to claim the title.
“I knew it was close,” Stasi siad. “I kind of snuck in a few today. I wasn’t able to play last year, so I’m just really fortunate to be here. This is a huge win!”
Stasi adds this victory to four U.S. Women’s Mid-Amateur titles (2006, 2007, 2010 and 2012) and 17 state championships. She has won countless other amateur and mid-amateur events and will be inducted into the Florida State Golf Association Hall of Fame this November.
“It’s nice to be wanted at the golf course you compete at,” Stasi said. “The Forest Creek Golf Club staff has been unbelievable, and that’s really important for us. I know the players really appreciated it, and I’m looking forward to this championship next year.”
Greenlief shared runner-up honors with Hopkins, who carded a final round 4-over-par 76 to post 7-over 223 for the championship. Shannon Johnson of North Easton, Mass. fired the round of the day with a 2-under-par 70. The 2018 U.S. Women’s Mid-Amateur champion tied for fourth with Amanda Jacobs of Portland, Ore., the 2019 U.S. Women’s Mid-Amateur Champion Ina Kim-Schaad of Rhinebeck, N.Y. and Megan Buck of North Easton, Mass.

Amy Ellertson of Free Union, Va., who won the inaugural championship last October, carded a final round 5-over-par 77. She posted 11-over par and finished solo second. Kim Keyer-Scott of Estero, Fla. finished third at 12-over-par 228. Corey Weworski of Carlsbad, Calif. finished fourth at 15-over-par 231, while Pamela Kuong rounded out the top-5 at 16-over-par 234.
