Kerstin Fotu surged ahead on her last nine holes Tuesday and became the stroke-play medalist in the 113th Women’s State Amateur at Logan Country Club.
Fotu shot 71-70 for a total of 3-under par 141, two strokes better than Southern Utah University golfer Poy Prasurtwong (68-75), the first-round leader.
Fotu, a Lone Peak High School graduate, will join BYU’s golf program in September. She started the second round on the back nine and was 1 over on that side, then made three birdies on the front nine.
“The main goal was just to get to match play,” said Fotu, who reached the quarterfinals as a 12-year-old in 2012, when Logan Country Club last hosted the State Am.
