Dulaney's
Carolyn Chandler shot a 68 on the Gunpowder Falls Golf Course on
Tuesday to win her second consecutive Baltimore County girls' title.
Chandler
was joined by teammates Molly Blauvelt (seventh), Chelsea Simanski
(16th) and Leah Fauth (22nd) in pacing the Lions to the overall team
title.
Chandler told on-site reporter, Mike Buchanan, of Digital Sports, that she had to overcome nature on the 16th or 17th hole.
"I
chipped [the ball] into the hole, and it went in. But the flag wasn't
in right," said Chandler, a junior. "So since the flag wasn't in right,
when the wind blew, it kind of knocked the ball out again."

Perry Hall's Amanda Lee, Carver's Gabriella Biondo and Milford Mill's Devonne Richardson rounded out the top four over the 18 hole course, which played hard and fast, due to the hot, dry conditions.
"It think the course was a lot more dry than it was last year," Chandler told Buchanan, referring to a year ago when she won with a 74. "So everything tended to roll a little bit more."
Chandler has been golfing since the age of 3, when she earned her first trophy, she said. She takes putting lessons in the offseason.
The event, played under sunny and breezy conditions, was the third straight for girls, and featured 56 participants, overall, with a number of them also playing in a nine-hole tournament as well on the course.
Jill Masterman, an assistant county athletics director, said the event marked the first time that not one girl participated in a co-ed tournament.
