Hokie ClubVirginia Tech women's golfer Jessica Spicer won the 10th Carolinas Young Amateur Championship on Thursday at Pinewild Country Club (Magnolia) in Pinehurst, N.C.
The junior from Bahama, North Carolina, shot a 2-under 70 in the rain-shortened event to claim the title. The final round was scheduled for Friday, Jan. 4, but was cancelled due to a forecast for torrential rain in the Southern Pines area.
Spicer got off to a hot start making three birdies in her first four holes. With two more birdies and only three bogeys in the round, Spicer won the championship by one shot over College of Charleston sophomore, Jodee Tindal of Rock Hill, S.C. Spicer's twin sister and Hokie teammate, Sarah, tied for sixth in the championship with a 75.
