"Mighty Mo" Melissa Martin, 25, took the championship at the Duramed Futures Tours' $80,000 USI Championship at Beaver Meadow Golf Course (Concord, NH) this weekend. The Union-Leader says:
The Altadena, Calif., resident shot a 5-under-par 67 to capture the title by four strokes over Gerina Mendoza, a 23-year-old tour rookie from Roswell, N.M.
With her 12-under-par 204 total for 54 holes, a tournament record, Martin earned her second career Futures victory and the $11,200 winner's check. The victory moved her to 10th on the tour's 2008 money list, within striking distance of the LPGA Tour cards awarded to the top five Futures earners at season's end.
Congratulations, Mo!
