Congratulations to Linda Luo of Missing Link.
Winner of AJGA Cleavand Junior Open!!
This is Linda's second straight win on the AJGA.
A five-way tie for first at 8-over-par 224 forced Lou, Samantha Swinehart of Lancaster, Ohio, Allison Harper of Columbus, Ohio, Pei-Chun Chen of Bradenton, Fla., and Laura Murray of Tipp City, Ohio to compete in a sudden-death playoff. The four-hole playoff ended with Swinehart and Luo on the par-5 13th hole. Lou made a four-foot putt for birdie to beat Swinehart who made par after a two-putt.
This wasn’t Luo’s first experience with a playoff. In June, Luo won the AJGA Sarasota Junior after a three-way sudden death playoff. “I’ve done this before so I was just calm,” said Lou who carded four birdies to shoot 73 on the day. “After you’ve been in a playoff, you are more relaxed and less nervous.”
