Michelle McGann

Michelle McGann, 17, of Riviera Beach, Florida, defeated Lynne Mikulas, La Mesa, California, 7 and 5, to win the championship at The Orchards Golf Course in South Hadley, Mass. McGann became only the second Floridian to win the championship and the first player from outside of California to win since1982.

McGann shared medalist honors with Lisa Brandetsas of Snyder, New York, and Brandie Burton of Rialto, California, at seven-over-par 151, despite posting a 45 for the first nine holes of her second round.

Brandetsas and Burton lost their first-round matches. McGann was extended to the 16th hole only twice on her way to the championship. In the semifinal round she eliminated Vicki Goetze of Hull, Georgia, 8 and 6. Mikulas, who only once was forced to the 17th in her matches, defeated Elizabeth Bowman of Bonita, California, 4 and 2, in the semifinals.

After the first hole of the final was halved, McGann won the next six. She lost the eighth hole, but won the ninth and 10th to go 7 up. McGann birdied the 13th to close out the match. The USGA accepted a record 209 entries for the championship.
