Alison Walshe Wins Harder Hall
Taylore Karle began the day one shot ahead of Allison Walshe. By the turn, Alison was one shot ahead. At the end of the tenth hole, Taylore was up again by two thanks to a triple bogey by Walshe. Then Walshe birdied the 11th hole and Karle bogeyed the 13th and the tournament was again tied with both players at 5 under par. From there on it was all Alison Walshe and by the end of the round she had won the 53rd Harder Hall Championship at seven under par 281. Taylore Karle finished 3 strokes back.
2006 Champion Stacy Lewis could not get her putter working and finished at 2 over par. Tiffany Joh, Lauren Hunt and Isabelle Lendl finished tied for fourth at 294.
