ERIE, Pa. - 2004 Indiana graduate Karen Dennison lost 1-up to Diana Ramage of Fayetteville, Ga., in 19 holes at the 104th United States Women's Amateur Golf Tournament at the Kahkwa Club.
The two players were all-square through the first three holes. The Madison, Ind., native took a brief 1-up lead with a birdie on the par-4 fourth, but the match was squared on the next hole after a Dennison bogey.
Dennison regained the lead after a Ramage bogey on the par-4 seventh. She gave the stroke back with a bogey on the eighth and a double-bogey on the ninth gave Ramage a 1-up advantage.
The former IU standout maintained her lead through the 12th, but a bogey on the par-4 13th squared the match again.
Ramage would birdie the par-5 14th, but Dennison would best her with an eagle to go 1-up. She would go 2-up with after a Ramage bogey on the par-4 16th.
Back-to-back bogeys by Dennison on the 17th and 18th squared the match and set the twosome into a playoff.
The playoff lasted just one hole as Ramage birdied the first hole and won the match by the final 1-up margin.
