Mary Alice Murphy ties off during the City Women’s Amatuer at Creeks Bend Golf Course.Mary Alice Murphy stood on the 18th green at Creeks Bend Golf Club. She’d already made par but watched to see how Jordan Britt would fare on a 15-foot birdie attempt.
If it dropped, they would head to a playoff.
If not, Murphy would claim the 2011 Chattanooga Women’s Amateur championship.
Britt tapped her putt, her caddie urged it to hurry, but the ball came to rest a foot short of the hole. She shrugged and tapped-in Wednesday afternoon.
Murphy high-fived and hugged her mother who caddied, then embraced Britt and fellow competitor Emily Javadi, a Baylor senior, who finished third.
