The Pacific Northwest Golf Association is proud to present the 2007 PNGA Players of the Year.
This year is hightlighted by Victoria’s Alison Murdoch, who took her show on the road this summer and had a season for the ages. After the dust had settled this fall, she found herself to be the national champion of three different countries. A nice triple crown.
She started the run with a victory in the RCGA Royale National Women’s Senior Championship, her fourth title in the event in the past six years, joining Canadian Golf Hall of Famers Gayle Borthwick and Marlene Stewart Streit as the only 4-time winners of the championship.
Then she was off to Ennis, Ireland, where she won the Irish Senior Ladies Amateur Championship, her third triumph in this event in the past four years.
From Ireland, she then went across the Channel to Copt Heath, England, where she won the Senior Ladies’ British Amateur Championship by seven shots. It was her first title in this championship.
Since the turn of the millennium, Murdoch has become one of the most dominant international amateurs in senior women’s golf, winning 10 senior championships in four countries.
