Nancy Scranton Dominates Inaugural
Women’s Senior National Invitational
Scranton Shoots 4 Under to Beat a Field of 19 other Legends of
the LPGA
TUCSON, AZ, April 25, 2010 –
Nancy Scranton picked up her first individual title on The Legends
Tour, official senior tour of the LPGA, with a two-shot win at the
Women’s Senior National Invitational, a Handa/ISPS Series Event and
the first professional women’s tournament in Tucson since 2004.
Scranton had won twice previously when partnered with Christa
Johnson in The Legends Tour’s BJ’s Charity Championship, a 36-hole
team event.
On
her way to a final score of a 4 under in the one-day, 18-hole event,
Scranton birdied three of the five par 5’s on the Catalina Course at
Omni Tucson National. Scranton earned first place prize money of
$15,000. Finishing in a 4-way tie for 2nd were LPGA Hall
of Famer Patty Sheehan, 2011 Solheim Cup Captain Rosie Jones, Kris
Tschetter and Sherri Turner, all at 1 under par.
From
the first tee, Scranton’s strategy was fairways and greens.
“You
only have 18 holes in this event,” she remarked. “My expectations
were not high – I just stuck to the basics, tried to focus on
fairways and greens.” Scranton added that she hit a number of really
good irons and putted well, which can certainly lead to birdies. “I
had some good wedges into the par 5’s and was really able to
capitalize on those opportunities,” noted Scranton.
"I figured, if I get hot
- great!" smiled Scranton.
