Vinny Papa Changes Putters, Leads Terrapin Classic at Hunt Valley CC
Rhode Island’s Vincenza “Vinny” Papa is taking a one shot lead into the final round of the Terrapin Classic at Hunt Valley Country Club in Maryland.
This comes after a putter change.
“I was using a Ping Sigma 2. Now, I am using an Oddesey Stroke Lab Tuttle. When I got the Ping, I was 4 ft tall now I am 5 ft tall,” said Papa.
She adds, “So funny, it was three-years-old and 5 inches too short. I had it since I was nine, now I’m 12. I am getting old.”
The final round of the tournament will take place on Thursday.
Virginia’s Lilly Hall is one shot back.
Papa’s 1st Round
Papa opened the round with a bogey on the first hole, before getting it back with a birdie on the third hole.
She then went bogey, birdie, bogey on the next three holes before parring out to shoot a one-over 37 on the front.
Upon making the turn, Papa birdied the 10th and 11th holes, before giving one back on 12.
Papa then birdied 13.
After saving par on 14 and 15, she bogeyed 16 and 18 coming in to shoot a one over 73 on the day.
