Paige Pierce Redeems Herself at Beaver State Fling
Date Published
Paige Pierce has finally found redemption at the Beaver State Fling, after a previous year's heartbreak proved a driving force behind her victory on Sunday. The four-time PDGA World Champion had been replaying the memory of her failed putt from 2018 countless times in her mind. This time around, she faced the same approach - a 509-foot right-hand bending closer at the West Course of Milo McIver State Park. However, instead of facing a one-shot deficit like before, Pierce entered the hole with a three-shot lead.
Despite having this advantage, Pierce's nerves and lack of confidence were palpable as she walked up to the green. She knew that making this putt was her chance to prove to herself that all her practice had paid off. As she reflected on her many attempts at the same shot, Pierce reminded herself that she is a skilled player who has made countless putts in the past.
With these thoughts in mind, Pierce stepped up and successfully connected with the ball, securing her second career Beaver State Fling title with an impressive 1-over par total of 245. Catrina Allen finished just behind Pierce in second place with a 4-over par 248, while Jennifer Allen took home third place with an 8-over par 252.
The win marked not only Pierce's second consecutive victory this season but also earned her $2,250 in prize money.
