SUGAR GROVE, Ill. — Monica Vaughn didn’t know the score, and she might not have believed how the final hour unfolded Monday that enabled the Arizona State senior to capture the NCAA women’s golf title.
In a stunning turnaround at Rich Harvest Farms, Vaughn made up a four-shot deficit with four holes to play with two birdies and a lot of help from Wake Forest sophomore Jennifer Kupcho, who led the entire final round until a triple bogey on the 17th hole.
“It’s a great way to go out my senior year,” Vaughn said after closing with a 1-under 71 for a one-shot victory.
