CONGRATULATIONS

JAMGOCHIAN CAPTURES WOMEN'S WESTERN SENIOR TILE

 

Debbie Jamgochian, Greenwich, Conn., easily captured the 29th Women's Western Senior Championship held at Naples Beach Hotel & Golf Club with rounds of 72-71-74.  Runner-up was Mary Ann Beattie, Chesterfield, MO 75-75-76.

Jamgochian won the 2007 Senior French Open in April and the 2007 Southern Senior New England Championship.   She was 8th in the British Mid-Amateur and played on the USGA State Team from Connecticut.

"This has been an awesome year for me, winning the French Open and now the Women's Western Senior Championship," Jamgochian said.

Jamgochian, a single digit handicapper, is 53-years-old and has been playing golf since she was a child but didn't play competitively for thirty years as she was raising her family.  She has been the Club Champion at Winged Foot Golf Club eleven times. 

In 2001 she was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis.  "I was playing golf and turned to my caddie and said I see double," she said.  After visiting a number of physicians and learning her fate, she spent the next six months bedridden.  For the next four years she was weak and couldn't work out but her one goal was playing golf again.

In spite of her MS her faith has been unshaken.  "I am a very spiritual person; I don't take any medications, but vigorously work out on the treadmill and try to do 100 push-ups every morning," she said.  Asked about her hobbies she replied, "Golf."

Runner-up Mary Ann Beattie was a Professional Tennis player (1964-1972) and was ranked in the top-10 in the U. S.  She has been the St. Louis District Invitational Champion in 2000 and 2007.
