09/07/2008 - Ann Arbor, MI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Wendi Patterson-Golden shot a two-under 70 on Sunday to earn stroke play medalist honors at the U.S. Women's Mid-Amateur.
Patterson-Golden, a 33-year-old from Florida, finished two rounds of stroke play at two-under-par 142 to edge out Kathy Hartwiger by a stroke.
Using a club member as her caddie, Patterson-Golden gained a big advantage on the greens at Barton Hills Country Club.
"He's been my eyes," she said of Dr. Frank Gordon, "but now he has to go back to work. He gave me the confidence I need on these greens."
Patterson-Golden's 142 total matched the second-lowest medalist score in championship history. It was one shot off the mark of 141 set by longtime amateur star and two-time Women's Mid-Am champion Carol Semple Thompson in 1993.
Hartwiger, the first-round leader, managed only a one-over 73 on Sunday to slip into second place at one-under 143. Mary Ann Lapointe carded a 72 to finish her 36 holes in third place at one-over 145.
Virginia Grimes, the 1998 champion, shot a 75 and finished alone in fourth place at two-over 146.
Two-time defending champion Meghan Bolger (148) and Semple Thompson (151) were also among the 64 players who made it through to the first round of match play on Monday.
The championship continues until the 18-hole match play final on Thursday.
