Vega Leads Wire-to-Wire for Win Number Three

Lakeland, Florida.  The SunCoast Series wrapped up a two event series today at Huntington Hills Golf and Country Club in Lakeland, Florida.  A week that brought a variety of obstacles for the players that included strong, gusty winds and the threat of thunderstorms one player battled the elements  to earn this weeks title.  Briana Vega of North Andover, Massachusetts stood strong against mother nature to claim her third SunCoast Series victory this season.  Vega posted rounds of 70-75-74=219 for a three over par tournament total and a six stroke victory.  Not a bad performance especially after a disappointing week at the Duramed Futures Tour season opener last week at Cleveland Heights GC where back to back double bogeys during round one took her out of contention on the weekend.

"I needed this.  This is such a confidence booster to get three solid rounds under my belt after my performance in the Futures Tour event this past weekend.  I am still working on some swing changes and trying to get comfortable over the ball.  This golf course doesn't fit my game because a lot of holes I can't hit driver and to come here this week having to hit a variety of golf shots and pulling them off, especially as windy as it was for the first two rounds, does a lot for me mentally as I gear up for my next Futures Tour event at LPGA International in a couple of weeks."

Series newcomers Aimee Cho (Orlando, FL) and Hiroko Fujishima (Tokyo, Japan) share second place this week finishing the tournament the at nine over par.

The SunCoast Series will take the next week off but will return to action April 1-3 at Deer Run Country Club in Casselberry, Florida.
