In the Super Senior Women’s Amateur, Karen Madison won the championship by a single shot over the defending champion, Marcia Fisher of Molalla, Oregon. Madison entered the day one shot off the lead and was paired in the final group.
She fired a final-round 83 to card her third consecutive round under 85, clinching the victory. Madison displayed remarkable consistency throughout the week, shooting under 85 in all three rounds, making her the only competitor in the field to achieve this feat.
