Cavanagh wins R.I. Women’s Amateur

Posted

Warwick native Susie Cavanagh captured the first state championship of her golf career with a victory over Nicole Scola in the Rhode Island Golf Association’s Women’s Amateur Championship.

A former three-sport athlete at Pilgrim High School, Cavanagh just completed her freshman year at the University of Connecticut, where she plays varsity hockey for the Huskies. A standout golfer in the Rhode Island Interscholastic League, Cavanagh has carried her game over to the amateur circuit, where she was the runner-up a year ago in the same event to her former high school rival Scola, a Prout graduate.

This year, at Agawam Hunt, Cavanagh rallied from 1-down on the 13th hole and won the next four holes to beat Scola 3-and-1. Scola was the defending amateur champion.

Cavanagh will move on to the New England Women’s Amateur this week.

Cavanagh won her opening match 6-and-5 then clinched a semifinal spot with a 7-and-6 victory. In the semis, she beat Lisa Griffin McGill 1 up to move into the championship match against Scola.
