FAIRFIELD GLADE, Tenn. - Chattanooga's Brooke Pancake finished second in the Tennessee Women's Open after a stirring final-round battle Saturday with Jefferson City's Kendall Martindale at Stonehenge Golf Club. Pancake, an Alabama senior who won four individual state high school titles at Baylor, shot a 70 to finish at 9-under-par 207 for 54 holes. That was nine shots ahead of four players who tied for third and one behind Martindale, a Vanderbilt freshman who led after every round in adding the State Open title to her State Amateur championship from last month in Jonesborough. Martindale did fall behind Pancake on Saturday, but her 71 was enough for the win when a 6-foot birdie putt didn't fall for the Chattanoogan on the final hole. Jordan Britt, a University of Tennessee at Chattanooga sophomore who played at GPS and then Signal Mountain, finished 10th at 221, and former Lee University standout Rachel Ingram from Benton tied for 16th at 226. Tullahoma's Morgan Hale closed with a 69 to tie for 21st at 227, and former UTC golfer Kayla Stewart tied for 30th at 231.

Outdoors

• Jack Crockford, whose name is on a wildlife management area at Pigeon Mountain near LaFayette, Ga., died July 16 in Atlanta at the age of 88. His funeral was Thursday. The Michigan native and World War II veteran was hired by the Georgia Game and Fish Commission as a wildlife biologist in 1947 and is considered the "father" of the state's deer restoration program. He served from 1972 to '78 as director of the commission, now called the Wildlife Resources Division of the Department of Natural Resources. The state's white-tailed deer population was estimated at 3,000 when Crockford joined the agency but now is more than a million, beginning with extensive restoration work in the 1950s and '60s. He created the "Cap-Chur" tranquilizer dart gun that still is used in capturing and transplanting animals, according to WRD officials.
