Umbriano Leads RI Contingent Into Kiawah National Pro-Am
Alpine and Lake of Isles Club Champion Michelle Fisette Umbriano leads a contingent of Rhode Islanders into the Kiawah National Pro-Am this week in South Carolina.
Umbriano is one of just five women in the tournament (field of 352) and one of ten Rhode Islanders playing.
She played a practice round at Turtle Point on Saturday and developed a plan of attack.
“I couldn’t get off the tee, so shots 48 on the front, but then I just started hitting my hybrid off the tee and shot a 37 on the back nine. So that’s my plan this week,” said Umbriano.
The tournament begins on Monday with teams teeing off at four different courses.
Cougar Point, Turtle Point, The Ocean Course and Oak Point.
Along with Umbriano, Narragansett’s Susan Broderick is playing on the Lake of Isles team.
There are also two squads from Quidnessett Country Club.
Those teams include Pro Peter Chwaliszewski and players Bill Jenkies, Bill Matthews and Dan Petrocelli.
The other team from Quid includes Pro Alex Parente and players Jim Pardy, John Greim and Bob Grady.
They will all play the Ocean Course for the first round.
