Gig Harbor golfer wins WSGA event

Alivia Brown of Gig Harbor, Wash. shot consecutive rounds of 1-under par 71 on all three days of competition in running away with the 22nd Washington State Women’s Amateur Championship, while Ginny Burkey of Eugene, Ore. won her second title in the Washington State Senior Women’s Amateur. Mary Ryan of Renton, Wash. won the Washington State Super Senior Women’s Amateur.
