Champs return for Women's State Amateur golf

Maggie Crippen of Missoula and Sue Matson of Laurel return to defend their Montana State Women’s Golf Association titles this week at the 95th annual State Amateur and State Senior Amateur Championship at Whitefish Lake Golf Club.

The 54-hole event begins Tuesday morning. Play all three days will take place on the North Course (par 72, 5,448 yards).

Crippen, 74-77-76—227, defeated Katie Michunovich of Billings by one shot a year ago at Bill Roberts Golf Course in Helena, while Matson, 80-86-85—251, was a two-shot winner over Karen Jacobson of Whitefish.

This year’s event has 90 seniors and 48 amateurs competing.

Matson will be inducted into the 2012 Hall of Fame on Wednesday at a banquet at Whitefish Lake Golf Club. She is a three-time state senior champ and has coached the Laurel High School golf program the last 10 years.

“I am so honored to have been selected as the Hall of Fame inductee,” she said in a press release.

“I am proud to be associated with the great sport of golf, the MSWGA and to be joining the wonderful ladies in the Montana Hall of Fame. It is truly a humbling experience.”

Next year the tournament moves to Great Falls.
