Betsy Aldrich has competed in over 30 Resorters tournaments and will be competing for her eighth total title after winning a close Women’s Executive Division semifinal match at the 102nd Resorters Tournament.

She will be joined by Krista Bull, who is competing in only her sec- ond Resorters but has pulled off three straight upsets to earn a shot at the title.

Aldrich def. Beckendorf, 2-1

The No. 5 seed Betsy Aldrich erased an early deficit to advance over the No. 9 seed Heidi Beckendorf. Becken - dorf notched a birdie on hole 3 and held onto the lead until shooting a bogey on hole 7; Aldrich parred the hole and then birdied hole 8 to take the lead. After trading a few more holes, the pair entered hole 15 tied. Aldrich knocked in a birdie and added a win on hole 17 to lock up a spot in the finals.

Bull def. Allyn, 2-1

The No. 14 seed Krista Bull jumped out to an early four-hole lead over the No. 10 seed Andrea Allyn after winning four of the first seven holes, highlighted by a birdie on hole 3. Allyn was able to cut the lead to one during the midround after Bull scored a couple of bogeys and double bogeys. But Bull was able to reestablish a two-hole lead by scoring a birdie on hole 15 and held on for a spot in the final.
