Towersey finishes fifth in Monterey Bay
Marianne Towersey, the women’s club champion at Santa Ana Country
Club and the girls golf coach at Newport Harbor High, finished the
2003 California Women’s Championship at Black Horse Golf Course in
Monterey Bay in fifth place after a final-round 79.
Towersey, 52, entered the third round Wednesday two strokes behind
eventual champion Erica Blasberg, a sophomore-to-be at the University
of Arizona. But the two golfers went in different directions.
Blasberg shot the first sub-70 round of the tournament with a
three-under-par 69, while Towersey’s final round finished seven
strokes over par. Blasberg finished with a 54-hole total of 216,
twelve strokes better than Towersey’s 228.
Big Canyon Country Club’s Channing Lovejoy fired a final-round 77,
matching her first-round score, to finish at 237, good for 16th.
The California Women’s Championship is open to all California
female amateurs, regardless of age.
