She won the Thornberry Classic in Green Bay last weekend. My son in law is the COO of the golf club and worked over a year to bring the event to the area. Over 50,000 spectators attended throughout the week.
Kirk won by one shot. She made clutch shots and putts when she needed to. Sherri and I cheered when she sank a 10 foot putt on the 72nd hole to clinch the victory.
But what really impressed us was the fact that she is a believer in Jesus and wasn't afraid to show it.
Her yardage booklet had printed in bold letters "John 3:16." It was seem numerous times throughout the television coverage.
And she marked her golf ball with a cross and 3:16 written next to it.
My son in law and daughter met and spoke with Katherine after the tourney. They said that she was warm, welcoming and spent time to talk with each of them and all the people that wanted to congratulate her on her stellar play.
Kirk shot 2 under par in the first round of the Open. She trails the leader for four shots.
We're hoping she'll be gunning for the championship this weekend. And hoping that her yardage book will be on display.
