Gigi Stoll (69 67 70 68), 26 years old from Beaverton (Oregon), leading both in the second and in the third round, prevailed after a good fight with Oon who turned in her favor with the seventh birdie of the day (against three bogey) on the 17th hole for 68 (-4) which gave her the decisive advantage.
She received a check for $30,000, out of a $200,000 prize pool, bringing her total earnings on the circuit to $145,162. 21-year-old Oon was runner up again as in the previous IOA Championship. Roberta Liti (73 73 70 68) recovered from 34th place with a 68 (-4, six birdies, two bogeys) and finished in good standings for the third time after 16th place in Florida’s Natural Classic and 10th in Carlisle Arizona Classic.
Angelica Moresco (70 72 70 72) scored a 72 (par, three birdies, one bogey, one double bogey), after always remaining in the top ranking. He is growing in performance after the cut in Florida and the 39th position in the IOA Championship.
The Rules of Golf are a set of standard rules and procedures by which the sport of golf should be played. They are jointly written and maintained by the Royal & Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews, the governing body for golf worldwide, outside of the United States and Mexico, which are governed by the United States Golf Association.
An expert commission made up of members of the R&A and USGA, oversees and refines the rules every four years. The latest revision has been in force since January 1, 2016. Changes to the rules of golf generally fall into two main categories: those that improve understanding and those that in certain cases reduce penalties to ensure balance.
The rule book, entitled “Rules of Golf”, is published on a regular basis and also includes rules governing amateur status. In Italy it is up to Federgolf to supervise the competitions by enforcing the rules issued by the R & A, checking that these rules are observed by the Clubs, Associations and their members and manages the resulting sporting justice, protecting their interests abroad.
