Long finished one shot ahead of Kathleen Sumner of Bishop England (S.C.) and defending champion Bailey Tardy of Norcross. The girls competed on the club’s Riverside Course, former site of the U.S. Women’s Open.
“I didn’t think I was playing that well,” Long said. “I’m grateful to the Athletic Club for letting us play here. I haven’t won anything, even anything little, in a long time. So this feels really good.”
Long scrambled on the front nine, when she hit only one green in regulation.
“My putting saved me,” she said. “I made a lot of long putts.”
