Olds, Alta. (Alberta Golf) – Another excellent day of weather helped Lynn Kuehn take the wire-to-wire win in the 2016 Guardian Capital Alberta Senior Ladies Championship at Olds Golf Club. Kuehn began her round with a double bogey on the first hole but quickly recovered with three birdies on her front nine. Kuehn proved to be consistent posting 74, 72, 75 for a tournament total of 221 (+5).
“I started out really rough” Kuehn explained, “I got my act together, the par fives were good for me because they shortened them up today and I was able to birdie them, that helped.” With six birdies in today’s round Kuehn lengthened her lead to finish nine strokes ahead of Shaughnessy Golf and Country Club’s Holly Horwood.
Horwood was very happy with her three rounds over the course of the championship posting 79, 72, 79 for a tournament total of 230.
