小女的球隊昨日打了今年的第五場18洞比賽—“ Skyland Conference Tournament” 。去年的比賽在郡里的一個公共球場舉行，小女以總杆67杆的成績贏得了冠軍。今年的球場換到了小女兩年前是會員的主場，小女特別的高興，為了打去年USGA的女子業餘公共林克斯錦標賽，去年起我們放棄了這主場會員的延續，小女也就再沒回去過，去見“老朋友們”是她更為熱衷的事，開始我們還擔心她會分心，感謝神的恩典，下場後她就專心打球了（當然少不了和HK聊天），打出了低於標準3杆的成績，69杆是昨日比賽（含男孩）中最好的成績，成功地衛冕了冠軍的頭銜。

象以往一樣我們當地的報社記者在頒獎後採訪了小女，報道登在今天的報紙上，摘錄如下，

At this point in Alice Chen’s storied golf career, it’s almost shocking when the Montgomery High School star doesn’t take home the top prize.

Chen shot a three-under 69 at Royce Brook in the Skyland Conference Tournament on Wednesday, giving the junior her second straight conference title. With only a single bogey on the scorecard, Chen had four birdies and hit a whopping 15 greens in regulation. It was a nice homecoming of sorts for her, as she was previously a member at Royce Brook.

“I haven’t played here in a really, really long time,” Chen said. “It just feels great to be back, especially with the atmosphere here and the people I used to be around all the time.”

Chen, the only golfer out of the girls and boys to break 70 on the afternoon, said the secret to her play was consistency. Being consistent for years at a time — not simply over the course of a couple rounds — is what makes Chen so dangerous to repeat as champion.

“It feels great (to win the Skyland), especially to do it back-to-back years,” she said. “In counties, I won three-in-a-row, so that was great, too. It just feels good to always defend your title.”

兩年前小女一起練球的夥伴們，隨着小女的離開、CZ和CM上了私校，這裡只有PK和JZ了。倒是工作人員都沒變，小女很高興見到了所有這些大朋友們，他們也都熱情地歡迎小女“回家”。
