The long par-5 first hole at the Members Club at Wildewood provided a challenge for the field and like so many other players, Beaupied started out with a bogey. Beaupied did not let that affect her mindset, however, as she carded two birdies on the front nine to make the turn at one-under-par 35. Beaupied would continue that momentum and finish with only one more bogey, on the long par-four twelfth hole. She stayed steady and calm throughout the round and reaped the benefits of all the swing work she has been doing over the last year.
Angela Stewart of Greenville, N.C., ended the day three strokes back of Beaupied to finish in second place, her second runner-up finish this season (Stewart also finished T2 at the North Carolina Senior Women's Amateur this year). Last year’s runner-up Kathy Binkley of Cornelius, N.C., finished in solo third place with a 5-over 77.
In the Carolinas Division (which plays a shorter course), Kelly Whitley of Greensboro, N.C., finished with a 6-over 78 and defeated Janet Myers in a scorecard playoff to take Carolinas Division honors. Whitley recorded two birdies on the day and remained steady throughout the round.
Janet Myers of Charlotte, N.C., also carded a 6-over 78 and finished with low super senior honors.
