In 30 mph wind conditions, Jean hit 15 greens and 12 fairways and shot 1 over while the leaders were shooting 7 over. Her second win puts back on top of the Futures Golf Tour money list and gives her a lot of confidence going into the US Women's Open next week.
We have been working on her lag putting and it paid off with perfect speed control all day. Below is an excerpt from the press release about the tournament. http://www.futurestour.com/ .
"Gusty winds, at times reaching 30 mph, took over and players struggled, with no one scoring under par for the day. By round's end, Jean Reynolds, of Newnan, Ga., shot 1-over-par and claimed the victory.
"I'm 100 percent glad to be done because the wind just kind of beats you down," said Reynolds, a second-year professional who carded a final-round one-over-par score of 73 to finish with a total score of 213 (-3). "The course played completely different than it did for the past two days. I just had to remember not to get frustrated. Pars were good today."
While Reynolds made plenty of pars, she started her day off with a birdie and ended with a bogey, with two more bogeys and one birdie in-between.
"Number 1 has been my favorite hole all week," said Reynolds. "I've birdied it every day. Eighteen is a long hole. A bogey's not bad there. It plays like a par 5."
Reynolds said she did start to get a little frustrated after she bogeyed No. 15; however, she took a quick look around and started to relax.
"I looked over at the leaderboard after 15, and saw that I was winning," recalls Reynolds. "I just started to chill out a little after that."
With today's victory, Reynolds is now a two-time Duramed FUTURES Tour tournament champion, having already won March's Florida's Natural Growers Charity Classic in Winter Haven, Fla."
