NEWS RELEASE
Tornado warnings and a play-off were no  test to champions Charlotte Daughan and Katie Miller  at the Wanderers Club in Wellington, Florida today.
They beat two-time title winners Tara Joy Connelly and former US Curtis Cup player Meghan (Bolger) Stasi at the second hole of a sudden death play-off climax to the 69th Women's International Four-ball Championship after they had tied at the end of the regulation 36 holes of stroke-play.
The  Wanderer’s Club in Wellington was in pristine condition. This historic  championship has been hosted by the Wanderers Club, one of the finest  clubs in Palm Beach County, for four consecutive years
Round one on  Tuesday had a delayed shotgun start due to heavy rain and wind  accompanied by a tornado watch.
In the Championship Division the famous duo of Tara Joy-Connelly and  Meghan Stasi took the early lead, looking to capture their third win.  Joy-Connelly, of Palm Beach and Stasi, of Oakland Park posted an  impressive five under-par for a two stroke lead over the team of  Charlotte Daughan and Katie Miller. Daughan, who teamed up with Sarah  Matin to win the Championship last year, matched up with Miller from  Jeannette, Pennsylvania to shoot a three under-par 69 in the first  round. 
At the end of the first round, two teams tied for third place with a two under-par 70 including:  Therese Quinn/Diane Lang and Marie Arnoux/Alexandra Frazier.
The final round of the Championship Division boiled down to a head to  head match-up between the teams of Joy-Connelly/Stasi and  Daughan/Miller. Both teams contained a wealth of talent with  Joy-Connelly being named Women’s Player of the Year in 2015 and Stasi  earning the same title five years in a row. 
Daughan was crowned champion  of the International Four-Ball last year but had to change partners  because Sarah Matin is expecting her first child! Katie Miller was a  smart choice as a former college golfer for the University of North  Carolina who made it to the final eight in the 2015 U.S. Women’s  Four-ball. Stasi and Joy-Connelly  fought hard and the lead went back and forth for the last six holes.  
With a two under-par 70 posted by Daughan and Miller the duo moved into a  tie for first place with the round one leaders. Joy-Connelly and Stasi  carded a steady final round of even par 72 to tie for first place with a  tournament total 139.
An exciting two-hole play-off determined the Champions of the 2016  Women’s International Four-Ball. 
With two  pars at the first play-off hole, the ladies continued on to the first hole, second play0off hole,  where the champions were crowned. Daughan and Miller both hit their  second shots on the green, placing pressure on Stasi to stick her second  shot close for a chance at birdie. 
Stasi did not hit the green, leaving  only the team of Daughan and Miller on the green with two looks at  birdie. Meghan missed her chip shot for birdie and knocked in a par (4)  for her team. Katie dunked her birdie putt to win the Championship. 
This  marks Daughan’s second consecutive Women’s International Four-Ball win  and Miller’s first Florida State Golf Association victory.
The team of Therese Quinn and Diane  Lang posted a second-round 72 for a two  under-par 142 total and a third place finish.
