Meghan Stasi earned her third Mid-Amateur victory as the only player under-par at Sugar Mill Country Club

NEW SMYRNA BEACH, FL (May 1, 2016) - Meghan Stasi, of Oakland Park, regained her title as Mid-Amateur Champion after not playing as defending Champion in 2015. Stasi took the early lead after day one with a one under-par 71. Kim Benedict, of Bonita Springs, sat two shots back after a round one score of one over-par 73. Defending Champion, Tara Joy-Connelly, of Palm Beach, would start the final round three shots back at 74.

Stasi never lost sight of the lead during the final round and posted an impressive second round score of three under-par 69 on near perfect course conditions. Consistent play and capitalizing on the par fives in her second round propelled Stasi to a wire-to-wire victory! She was the only player in the field with two under-par rounds and finished four under-par for the tournament with a 140 total. Seven strokes behind, Joy-Connelly finished in second place with a second round 73 and tournament total 147. Boynton Beach resident, Taffy Brower advanced up the leaderboard with rounds of 76- 74 to take third place with a 150 total.

Five strokes behind in second place was Tinker Sanger who came back in the second round with a 77 for a 165 tournament total.
