Herd junior fires a final-round 69 to claim the crown at Oglebay’s Palmer Course
WHEELING, W.Va. – Marshall junior Savannah Hawkins saved her best round for last, firing a final-round 69 to finish 1-under par and win the 2026 W.Va. Women's Amateur on Tuesday at Oglebay Park's Palmer Course in Wheeling, W.Va.
Hawkins' 3-under in the final round left her as the lone golfer in the field to finish under par for the entire tournament. She won the tournament by five shots over Bridgeport's Audrey Kerr.
In the final round on Tuesday, Hawkins finished with five birdies, including a stretch of three birdies in four holes to close out her front-9 and propel her to a sizable advantage.
For the second round in the tournament, she had consecutive birdies on the par-5 8th hole and the par-3 9th hole to push her advantage over the field.
Hawkins then fired a pair of birdies on her final nine holes to keep the field at a distance.
For the tournament, Hawkins finished with 13 birdies to pace the field.
