AUGUSTA, Georgia - Jennifer Kupcho struck a blow for gender equality and entered golf history books on Saturday when she was crowned Augusta National Women’s Amateur champion by firing a final-round five-under 67 for a four-shot win over Maria Fassi.
“You are now part of history of Augusta National along with all the great Masters champions who have been right here in this Butler Cabin,” Augusta National chairman Fred Ridley said as he presented Kupcho with her trophy in the same location where the Masters champion is presented with the winner’s green jacket.
“I actually got a migraine on the eighth green and kind of over to the left I just couldn’t see it was blurry,” said Kupcho. “I told my caddie I’m looking for you to read the putts and tell me where to hit it and I will do my best to hit it there. Showing why she is the world’s top-ranked amateur, the 21-year-old carded birdies at 15, 16 and 18 along with a brilliant eagle on the par five 13th that wiped out Fassi’s two stroke lead.
The crowd more resembled one you might find at a U.S. women’s soccer game with plenty of teenage girls and mothers and fathers with children in tow.
