John Quincy Adams once said, “Patience and perseverance have a magical effect before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish.” The sixth president of the United States, Adams made that observation sometime in the early 1800s. And on Aug. 12, 2020, Kathy Glennon provided validation. Twenty-two years and 38 holes after winning a flighted portion of the MAGA Women’s Amateur, Glennon captured the genuine article, putting her name on the Jayne M. Watson Trophy in the 28th playing of the Women’s Amateur. “Jayne has done so much for me, for all of women’s golf in this area,” Glennon said afterward. “I am beyond thrilled to have my name go on her trophy with these other ladies.” Patience paid off and Glennon persevered by beating 2017 Women’s Amateur champion, McKinnon Montgomery, in a two-hole playoff at Greenbriar Hills Country Club. Glennon was seven shots behind the leader when the final round began. But her 2-over 73 caught Montgomery, who struggled with an 80 after shooting an opening-round 71 - the only round at par or better in the primary championship. In the Net Championship, Peggy Shamleffer had rounds of 70-73 to finish 1-over and capture the A-Flight crown. Simay Souvannarath finished second.
