Brummett wins Metropolitan Women’s Whitney Brummett accepting the Jayne M. Watson Trophy
Amateur title for first time

20-year-old from Eureka becomes only
fourth winner of MAGA Jayne Watson Trophy

   Whitney Brummett (pictured holding the Jayne Watson Trophy at right with MAGA president Stan Grossman) posted a final-round 2-over 71 on Tuesday to win the 15th Annual Metropolitan Women’s Amateur in convincing fashion at Westborough Country Club.

   The 20-year-old from the Country Club of the Legends completed the 36 holes at 6-over 144, nine shots better than runner-up Barbara Berkmeyer (76-77-153). She became only the fourth player in MAGA history to win the event.  
   A three-year standout at Florida State University, Brummett was steady if not spectacular in distancing herself from the two women who had the event since its inception– Berkmeyer and Sunset’s Ellen Port (79-78-157).
   After opening with a bogey at the par-5 first hole, Brummett reeled off 11 straight pars to widen her lead to seven shots over Berkmeyer and 10 over the Country Club of St. Albans’ Kathy Glennnon.   
   Glennon (77-82-159) and St. Louis Country Club's Ginny Orthwein (76-83-159) tied for fourth.
   Cindy Mackey (below left) of the St. Louis Women’s Golf Association won A Flight with   Jan Pedersen - B Flight Winner
rounds of 81-88-169 while Bear Creek’s Jan
Pedersen (below right) shot 94-94-188
to top the B Flight.
    Brummett, a 2004 Eureka graduate, was an all-state golfer at Eureka
High School before launching her collegiate career at FSU. She has maintained
a 4.0 in Political Science with a 4.0 grade point, earning National Golf Coaches’ Association All-America Scholar Team honors.
