— History supposedly doesn’t
repeat itself, but don’t tell
that to Hollis Stacy, Kathy
Postlewait or anyone
associated with the $125,000
LPGA West Virginia Classic.
For four straight years, the
Wheeling tournament has
ended in a playoff and for the
last two yean, Stacy has been
the winner.
How does Postlewait fit
into this scenario? Well, for
the second straight year, the
nine - year LPGA veteran lost
Sunday in a playoff
continuing her career winless
streak on the women’s tour.
“I thought the outcome
was going to be different this
time,” said Postlewait, who
bogeyed the playoff hole, the
350 - yard, par 4 10th hole.
Stacy, who earlier had
broken out of a five - way
logjam at the top of the
leader board, made a foot -

“But I never thought I was

said Stacy, winning her fifth
tournament in an 11 - month
span. “Those holes are so
tough and it’s easy for some
shots to swing on those
holes.”
