Farmington resident Kelly Whaley took the girls division of the International Junior Golf Tour at the Falcon’s Fire Golf Club in Kissimmee, Fla. last weekend, according to a release sent to Farmington Patch.
Whaley, a student at the Hank Haney International Junior Golf Academy on Hilton Head Island, S.C., finished the two-day event with a 1-under-par 143 total, the release said. She recorded 15 pars in the final round.
“I told myself there were a lot of holes left to birdie,” Whaley said in the release. “If it gets close, you know you still have holes left. I had a one-shot lead on the last hole and had to be confident I would par it.”
Manuel Velez of Panama City, Panama finished first in the boys division, according to the release.
