FRENCH LICK, Indiana — This moment was a long time coming for Stephanie Kono (Honolulu, Hawaii), who shed a few tears after a final round 3-under par 68 secured her first professional victory at the second annual Donald Ross Classic.
The former three-time First Team All-American performer for UCLA walked off No. 18 of the Donald Ross Course at 11-under par overall, good enough for a one shot win.
“It’s amazing and I still can’t believe I did that,” said Kono, who recorded five birdies and two bogeys this afternoon. “Such a great feeling and I’m so grateful. I was out for a while last year and just had some bad times. I’ve had such a good group of people around me that kept me believing. This is unreal, but I’m so thankful.”
