Tatum Walsh
recent graduate Rory Weinfurther as a St.
Catherine’s champion.
Walsh, a member at Salisbury Country
Club, was second in stroke-play qualifying,
behind only Shin. Her toughest
opponent in match play was Melanie
Walker, who pushed Walsh to the 19th
hole in the tournament semifinals. But
once she reached the final, Walsh never
trailed against Shin, winning the match
with a par on No. 15.
A recent swing change played a big role
in Walsh’s improvement this summer, but
it wasn’t the overriding reason for her
first major tournament victory.
“The swing change definitely helped,
but really it was just gaining confidence,
playing more, and practicing,” Walsh said.
