Former Arizona Wildcat golfer Gigi Stoll earned her first professional victory on familiar turf, winning the Casino Del Sol Golf Classic at Sewailo Golf Club.
James Kelley Special to the Arizona Daily Star Former Arizona golfer Haley Moore cried after the Casino Del Sol Golf Classic on Sunday.
Stoll and Moore were teammates when the Wildcats won the 2018 NCAA women’s golf championship. They hugged Sunday, right after Stoll sunk a putt of about 6 feet to clinch the title. Moore helped to douse the newly crowned champ with water. Stoll and Moore both got to visit campus while back in Tucson this week; then, come the tournament itself, it was like old times with the event being played on the UA program’s former home course.
Moore and Stoll were tied for the lead after Friday’s second round, with Stoll taking a one-shot lead after 54 holes entering Sunday. Stoll had five birdies and one bogey on the front nine Sunday to build her lead up to as many as four strokes. “We’ve had a lot of ups and downs, and this week was her week,” Moore said. “I was glad to be a part of it the last two rounds.”
