Bell Girls Golf Tour Results

The Peggy Kirk Bell Girls' Golf Tour was in Raleigh this past weekend for the Wildwood Shoot Out at Wildwood Green Golf club.

The strong winds kept the girls from firing any sub par scores, but Raleigh's Sarah Bae posted a score of 75 for the victory.

The win was Bae's first of the year.

The win inched Bae closer to the order of Merit leader Katherine Perry putting her in fifth spot going into the upcoming two-day event at Mooresville CC in Charlotte on April 25 and 26.
