Shilling, Country Club hold off challengers

CAMBRIDGE TOWNSHIP — Not a bad send off for her return to Queens University of Charlotte for Ashley Shilling.

Shilling, who will be a sophomore on the North Carolina school’s golf team, was the only woman to score in the 70s on her way to medalist honors Sunday as The Country Club won its first Crawford Cup title since 2003.

Despite solid rounds from Miki Headley, Cherrie Davis and Marlene Gourley, Oakland Beach could not make the two points they were down.

The Country Club’s Nancy Bohman shot an 86 to earn four points in Flight B and Kathy Moss shot an 87 to win Flight C.

The Country Club stretched its two-point lead coming in to 5 1/2 points after scoring a fifth-round best 16 points. Oakland Beach was second with 70 followed by Whispering Pines (52), Mt. Hope (50 1/2), Venango Valley (43), Country Meadows (12 1/2) and Island Green (10 1/2).

It is the Clubbers fifth championship, three behind Oakland Beach’s Cup record eight titles.

“This is nice (because) ... down at school you don’t get as much recognition for playing well,” Shilling said.

Shilling shot a 4-over-par 75 on the 4,776-yard, par-71 layout.

“I was putting very well. I was making all the 6- and 7-footers you need to make,” Shilling said. “I like the course and felt I could score well.”

Mission accomplished.

Shilling was steady, with one birdie, three bogeys and a double bogey sprinkled around 13 pars.

Oakland’s Headley trailed Shilling by three strokes after the front nine (40-37), but struggled early in the second nine going 5-over par in the first four holes of the back nine.

“I was playing with (Headley), and I knew if I could beat her we would be in pretty good shape,” Shilling said.

Headley finished strong, however, going 1-over for her final five holes, including a par on the 393-yard, par-5 15th. Par on that hole was as good as birdie. Headley’s was one of just three pars on the hole in the day. The hole played to an average score of 7.23.

Char Hamilton, playing for host Venango Valley, had the second-best score of the day. She had a 10-over 81, good for six points in Flight B.
