I don’t think many would disagree with the description of Alena Sharp as a journey woman. She’s had a solid career, without a doubt, but this week could be her crowning moment.
Sharp is playing at her home course, and it shows. Outside of a handful of superstars in featured groups, Sharp had noticeable fan support out there. And those members are proud of her. One spectator on Wednesday couldn’t wait to gush to me about her.
Those fans helped give Sharp the boost she needed on Thursday.
Sharp’s course knowledge flashed. She missed only one fairway in route to shooting a -5 67. She showed off her experience on these greens as well with only 28 on the round.
Sharp hasn’t had a win yet on tour in her 20-year-career. March can be a time for Cinderella stories though.
