Port Battles Back to Capture Her 16th Women’s Amateur Title
Admittedly, she did not have a very good day on the golf course Wednesday in Round 1 of the 26th Metropolitan Women’s Amateur Championship. Following Round 1 
Port said, “Darn I hate playing bad, I was due though. It keeps you humble, keeps you grinding!” She finished the day at 79 and 5 shots behind the leader Logan Otter.
And grind is exactly what Port did in Round 2. Despite 2 double bogeys on her card, she had 5 birdies en route to a 1-under 71. The only subpar round of the championship, it would be good to post a 6-over 150 and bring the Jayne M. Watson Trophy back to her home for another year.
Recent UMSL transfer Madison DeRousse (pictured right) carded rounds of 76-75 to finish one stroke back of Port for Runner-Up. DeRousse, who played at Ste. Genevieve High School and attended Alabama State her freshman year is coming home and will play on Troy Halterman’s UMSL squad this fall.
In the Net Division Championship, Flight A Champion was Maria Morrison (75-65) and Runner-Up was Oanh Wieland (74-69).
In Flight B of the Net Division, Alicia Anderson edged out Nanci Rosch in a scorecard playoff. They shot 78-74 and 80-72 respectively to finish at 152.
