Course Scoring Insights

Scoring Spread: Atlantic Beach Country Club played to a scoring average near par with a 23-stroke spread from leader (-13) to the back of the field, indicating a course that rewards precision and penalizes mistakes severely.
Eagle-Friendly Design: The course yielded 15 eagles total (10 on Hole 6, 4 on Hole 18, 1 on Hole 15), showing strategic scoring opportunities on specific holes. Par 4 Hole 6 was particularly attackable with its 10 eagles—the most of any hole.

Ball-Striking Insights

Tee Game Dominance: Kim Kaufman (+7.18 SG: Tee) and Alice Hodge (+6.66) led off the tee but didn't contend, while Isabella's +2.52 SG: Tee and 97.44% accuracy proved the winning formula combined with elite approach play.

Isabella's Complete Approach Game: Fierro excelled across all distances with +0.18 (50-100Y), +1.22 (100-150Y), +0.81 (150-200Y), +0.34 (200+Y)—the most balanced and dominant approach performance in the field.
