GOLFWEEK STAFFMeghan Bolger can be soothed by the fact that she will travel to St. Andrews as part of the U.S. Curtis Cup contingent, but a frustrating string of close calls in recent amateur events continued for Bolger at the Ione D. Jones/Doherty Championship.
Sixteen-year-old Isabelle Lendl defeated Bolger, 1 up, in the finals of the Doherty on Saturday. Lendl, ranked 39th in the
Golfweek/Titleist Junior Rankings, defeated her older sister, Marika, in the semifinals. Marika won the title last year, giving the Lendl sisters a Dougherty two-peat.
Bolger played in the last group in the final round of last week’s South Atlantic Ladies Amateur, but stumbled on the front nine to eventually shoot 3-over 74 and finish fourth. The week before that, Bolger finished seventh in the Harder Hall Invitational by going 71-69 in her final two rounds. She shot 78-77 the first two days.
A true family affair, Lendl had to face her 14-year-old sister, Daniela, in the Round of 16 but topped her, 4 and 2, to advance to the quarterfinals, where she faced Scotland’s Michele Thomson, who finished third at The Sally.
Carol Semple Thompson defeated Ann Fulginiti, 3 and 2, to win the seniors’ division. Thompson is a seven-time USGA champion.
