egan Khang, 17, of Rockland, Massachusetts
began the day with a three shot lead at seven
under-par and never looked back, capturing
her third Women’s Open title in record fashion with
rounds of 65-64—129. She finished the day nine strokes
clear of Ashlan Ramsey of Greenvile, South Carolina,
who took home low professional honors.

Khang, the 2012 and 2013 champion, began the
day with birdies on holes #1 and 5 to go to nine-under
par for the tournament, but suffered a pair of bogies on
the 6th and 8th holes that dropped her back to even par
for the day. With Ramsey making an early move with
birdies on the 4th, 5th and 8th holes, Khang’s lead was
down to three, but like a true champion, she didn’t let
that affect her game.

“After I made bogey on six and Ashlan made
birdie, I had that feeling that it was close and I knew
I needed to play well going forward,” said Khang. “I
managed to get around the front nine in one under, and
once I made the turn I said to myself, ‘You have a little
cushion, so play like you know how to play’. Luckily
