Badura Completes Sweep with Girls' Amateur Title
It was a wide-open race during the Final Round of the 20th Nebraska Girls' Amateur Championship, but it was again Aurora's Danica Badura who triumphed at Scotts Bluff Country Club on Wednesday. Several players had a chance to claim the title, with a few different girls holding the lead at some point. However, Badura outlasted them all and posted a second-straight 75 (+3) to win by one stroke with a 150 (+6) total. Visit the tabs above for additional info and see the recap and champion interview below.
