Laurie Steenrod of Saddle Rock GC and Lynn Larson of The Pinery CC came from behind to win the 2008 CWGA Brassie Championship at Dos Rios Golf Club in Gunnison, CO. Steenrod and Larson defeated Kim Gosche of Broken Tee Englewood and Kim Nissen of Bushwood GC by one stroke. The Steenrod/Larson duo and Gosche/Nissen team each came out firing from five shots back to shoot impressive two-over par rounds of 73 in the midst of windy conditions. Tied at 156 after 36 holes of play, they went to extra holes. In the hole-by-hole playoff, Nissen made it to the green in two shots on the first playoff hole, but unfortunately she could not get the ball to find the bottom of the cup. Steenrod and Larson made par while Gosche and Nissen made bogey. Steenrod and Larson previously won the Brassie title together in 2000 at Dos Rios in similar dramatic fashion going to a three-hole playoff with Cassie Caputo and Susan Moore. This Brassie title is Larson’s fifth since 1991.
