Lady’s Island, SC
Vicki Hillen of Murrell’s Inlet defeated the defending champion Karen Ferree of Hilton Head 2-up in the finals to capture the 2002 Match Play Championship. After a quick start by Ferree, Hillen found herself 2-down after only 3 holes. But the match would quickly undergo a switch in momentum. Hillen won three of the next five holes to gain a 1-up lead before the turn, and then took control of the match with consecutive birdies on holes 13 and 14. Ferree would make things interesting gaining a hole on 15 and then sinking a clutch birdie putt on 17 to send the match to a final hole 1-down to the two-time champion Hillen. Ferree’s luck ran out on 18 as she drove the ball in the right water hazard. When her effort to recover failed, she would concede the hole and the victory to Hillen.
The low 15 from the qualifying round, along with the defending champion Karen Ferree, made up the Championship division of the tournament.
