NAPA, Calif. - Freshman Patty Tavatanakit made birdies on her final two holes to come from behind and share medalist honors at the Silverado Showdown, recording her second career victory on Tuesday at the Silverado Country Club.
Trailing playing partner Jennifer Chang of USC by three strokes with two holes to go, Tavatanakit made a birdie on the 17th to get to within two. On the 18th, the Bruin freshman needed a two-shot swing to get into a tie and got just that, making birdie on the par 5, while Chang made bogey, as each finished at 8-under 208. Tavatanakit shot a 4-under 68 for her final round, posting a bogey-free trip with birdies on #8 and #10 to go with her last two holes.
