A Philadelphia Cricket Club teaching pro, Meaghan Francella, finished 7-over and missed the cut but shot even-par 72 in the second round at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship. She was third among PGA professionals in the event.
BETHESDA, Md. — Meaghan Francella was one of nine PGA/LPGA professionals to compete at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship last week at Congressional Country Club. Francella, an LPGA teaching professional, is a golf instructor at the Philadelphia Cricket Club in Flourtown.
Francella couldn’t stay away from golf. She returned to the LPGA in 2017, but this time as the director of golf for the LPGA Amateur Golf Association. She worked at the LPGA headquarters in Daytona Beach, Fla., and organized tournaments for its members. Wanting a chance to get back into the action, she competed at the 2021 Women’s PGA Professionals Championship to secure a spot at the 2022 Women’s PGA Championship. She made the cut at her first competition in years and qualified for the major.
