Anna Davis, 16, shoots 69 to win third edition of Augusta National Women's Amateur

Anna Davis, a 16-year-old high-school sophomore, won the third edition of the Augusta National Women’s Amateur on Saturday.

Davis played flawlessly on the second nine with two birdies and seven pars to shoot 3-under 69 and enter the clubhouse at 1 under par.

At the time, she was trailing LSU’s Latanna Stone by two strokes. Stone had two holes remaining and was in the fairway at the par-4 17th, but she left her approach shot short of the green and chipped too far past the hole. She eventually three-putted for a double-bogey 6.

That dropped her into a share of the lead with Davis.
