Shannon Spitzer Wins First
Professional Tournament
9 June 2001 - Waco, TX - Shannon
Spitzer was looking for a victory in her first year as a pro playing
on her home course and started off in fine fashion taking a 4 stroke
lead over Lee
Messinger after the second round was complete. Shannon struggled
during the 3rd round posting a 4-under 32 on the increasingly difficult
course, but no one in the field was able to make up ground as no one in
the pro division was able to break 30. Shannon played a solid final
round shooting a 7 under 29 giving her a nice 6 stroke win for her first
professional victory and a spot in the Texas State Finals. Bill
Florian took 2nd place and Greg
Everly was third. Both earned a spot in the Texas State Finals.
The APA division of the June 9th Texas State Qualifier in Waco was by
Steve Tanton,
his fifth win of the season, whose 117 was one better than second place
finisher Wade
Sahmel. Neal Armstrong, Andy Gaiser and Alan Thomas won APA state
qualifying spots.
