2008 Champion
Cindy Figg-Currier &
Sherri Turner

Interview with the Champs

Turner's long ball put the pair in position for birdie time after time.
The Daniel-Jones dream team couldn't quite catch the champs and had to settle for a T3 finish.
Missing a few key putts left Stephenson and Rarick wondering what might have been.

On final round Sunday, Cindy Figg-Currier and Sherri Turner rode nine birdies - and second eagle chip by Figg-Currier, this time from 35 yards - to an 11-under-par 61. They finished with a 21-under 123 total during the two-day event, winning for the first time on the Legends Tour.

"We're excited. It's indescribable," said the 51-year-old Turner, a Tucson native.

In the 2006 BJCC, Figg-Currier and Turner fired a final-round 59, but it wasn't enough to defeat Christa Johnson and Nancy Scranton, who dropped an eagle putt on 18 to steal a one-stroke victory. This time around, it was Figg-Currier and Turner beating the two-time defending champs by four strokes and earning a $100,000 purse to split. It was the first tournament win in 19 years for Turner.

Scranton and Johnson had 11 birdies in their second-round 61, but they couldn't rebound from a first-round 66. "We gave ourselves a lot of chances," said Scranton, whose team made it a one-stroke match midway through the round before falling back. "We ham-and-egged it a lot better today, but we just got a little too far behind [Saturday]." Their 127 total earned them $70,000.

Jan Stephenson and Cindy Rarick overcame a 68 Saturday by firing a 61 yesterday and tying for third place. Nancy Lopez and Val Skinner and Rosie Jones and Beth Daniel also finished at 129, with the third-place finishes earning the teams $32,333 each.

The elusive "three-peat" looked plausible for a while, but Johnson and Scranton came up short.
Lopez's return to Granite Links produced a T3 finish with partner Val Skinner.
