Area golfer doing well in tournament

Notre Dame junior Alex Carl is currently third at Stonecreek, a Calloway PGA series tournament in Urbana, Illinois this week. I just spoke with Carl by cell phone as she was waiting out the rain.

She shot 77 on Tuesday and hopes to complete the tournament today or Thursday. She is competing in the 13-15 age group.

Carl was the regional runner-up last season for Notre Dame and was tied for 19th at state. The Pandas won their third consective regional title.

"I am expecting a lot out of us," Carl told me. "I am really looking forward to the season; we have some good incoming freshmen."
