Blasi broke through for her first Missouri Women’s Senior Amateur title, firing a closing 73 that included two birdies and an eagle at No. 14. She finished at 4-over 148, winning by 11 strokes over Tina Jones and Glennon, who shared second at 15-over 159.
In the Senior Net Division, which applies handicaps and awards the trophy to the lowest net score by a player who is not the Senior Amateur champion, Connie Cook (Springfield) took home the title with a net 75 today and a 5-over 149 total. Blasi followed with a net 74 for 6-over 150, and Jones placed third at net 78 for 9-over 153.
