again. Peter also bogeyed 11, and birdied the short par-5 12th and the two stayed tied through the rest of the back nine leading up to the final hole.

“I always believed I had a shot,” Swedick said. “It was going to take some work to get there, but I never thought I didn’t have a chance. It wasn’t until I was over the two-foot putt that I thought oh my gosh I can win this.’’ The two top players were the only players in the field to shoot each of their three rounds under par and Swedick’s first round 67 broke the record for lowest round in a New York State Women’s Amateur Championship during the stroke play era. She finished at (67-71-69) 207, which is now the lowest total score during the stroke play era (previous was 216).

This was the capital district native’s second win at McGregor Links in as many months. She won the New York State Public High School Athletic Association championship on there in June.

Peter finished at (68-71-69) 208. Her firstround 68 is the second lowest round of the stroke play era. Although she lost, the Ohio State University athlete was happy with her performance.

“I was just trying to play my own game,” Peter said. “I knew it was going to be be close, so the whole back nine I was just trying to go out there and hit good shots just like I did on the front.”

Peter thinks her strong performance in this tournament will help her moving forward.

“I didn’t really even pay attention to what I was doing today, and I realized that I shot three-under and didn’t think anything of it,” she said. “I’m just happy with the tournament I played, it’s really good going into my next event confidence wise.”

Indian Hill Country Club’s Emily Montagnino was in the lead group going into the final round. She ended the tournament at seven-over 223 in third place.

Olivia Deakins, of Ardsley Country Club, finished in fourth place at 225. Wiltwyck Golf Club’s Amber Pennington took sole possession of fifth place with a 10-over 226.
